Strix   11 #1 Posted October 16, 2006 We went to Scotland last week  No trip up there is complete without tackling at least one Munro, so this was the one we attempted, which can be found by parking here and walking up to here, where the views are a bit like this!  We staggered across the ridge from cairn to cairn in the thick cloud, but had to give up due to poor visibility, not knowing how far we were from the summit, and the rocky terrain taking its toll on a certain person's paws  In a fashion only Scotland could muster, we found ourselves shrouded in the kind of cloud that usually makes your hair curl, and sticks to everything leaving you sopping wet - although it hasn't actually rained. On this occasion we remained bone dry  We met several people on the way up, and the way down, who were happy to stop and chat  Anybody else been here?

taxman   12 #2 Posted October 17, 2006 Strix dear, I don't want to unduely worry you but you seem to have been accompanied on your trip by a mysterious spectre.  If you are familier with the Stories of M R James you might recognise the apparition as the one in "Oh Whistle and I'll Come to You, My Lad".  I'd be a bit more careful in future:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Strix   11 #3 Posted October 17, 2006 Yeah, the first walk we went on with the new car was in Wales, and I think this bloke may have climbed in the car when we weren't looking  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
