Description: Three munroes from the ski centre - easy walk. Hot sunshine. Came across a deer hunt unexpectedly - they had lots of people to flag wave to stop the shoot in case of walkers and kindly did so, allowing me time to get out of the way! I learned to check 'hillphones' now online to show where deer hunting is taking place and avoid these estates during the seasons. Useful learning point.
