Thank you all for an amazing week! Cheers to Alice for organising it all, and to the two drivers James and Neil.
Great weather, great people... well worth it!

Looking forward to next year! Lol

Thanks all. Good work on organizing Alice, cheers for driving Neil and James, and cheers everyone else for being good company and climbing partners. No thanks to transport services for the bus!

I will put some photos online when I get round to sorting my camera.

Looking at the weather, it snowed a lot yesterday and last night up in the Cairngorms and the avalanche hazard is now 3 (considerable) so we did pretty well on the weather and conditions :-)

Just in case anyone was left fraught with an insatiable yearning to know just exactly "how do pineapples grow?" after the trip (as I appear to have been), you will be pleased to know that:

Pineapple plants are herbaceous perennials that can reach 5 feet tall and 4 feet wide. The pineapple fruit grows on a stalk in the center of the rosette of leaves

Selection of pineapple in-growth pictures:
