Ramsay Round continued

Quick sketch of the mountains as I waited for the Ramsay Round runners. I didn't want to get too involved with my picture as I knew runners might come round the corner at any moment. the hill shown is Sgurr Choinnich Beag with the Aonach Mor / Aonach Beag plateau behind.
Waiting for the runners to arrive back at Glen Nevis Youth Hostel this morning. We had text updates during the night and it became clear that Mark was slipping behind his schedule however we were still hoping he would 'pull it out of the bag' Unfortunately he was about half an hour outside the magic 24 hour time limit, but what a tremendous achievement ! It's a shame that he won't go on the list of official Ramsay Rounders but he was very close. It is a phenomenally difficult challenge and few people manage it on their first attempt.
View of Beinn Na Lap from the railway bridge near Corrour ,this was sketched last year when I was reccing another part of the Round.
