Hi, I spoke with elliot recently and the lift did go ahead at very short
notice, and so I didn't make it myself either. I don't know what he got,
but I wouldn't rush up Llyn Dullyn until Elliot confirms what was
lifted. Some reasonably good legs were recovered form carn a' coire Mhor
near Inverness a couple of years ago, and there is still a fairly intact
leg at the badly scaveneged Alt Fathan Glihnne site near Balquidder.
these are the only legs I know of and I've been to most of the high
ground sites in Scotland, not sue about other UK sites.

Regs,

Brian
