Run To the Hills!

The weather's very uncertain for tomorrow. I've been keeping an eye on the forecast to see whereabouts in the country might be the best place to bag a Munro or two, and it keeps changing every hour. First I was heading for Ben Wyvis up North, then Meall Chuaich near Drumochiter, and currently I'm heading past Pitlochry for the Ben Lawers range, although all that could be changed again by morning, when I will make my final decision.

I've been knackered today, too much exertion with all that gardening last night. I woke up with a sore head, but still had to make a couple trips to the dump with all the bushes that the wife insisted in cutting down last night, even after I told her to stop. She was only meant to prune them back, but the Sun must have gone to her head, because there's virtually nothing left now. From one extreme to another, as they say!

Time to go and have those Bulmers left over from yesterday, and keep my fingers crossed for tomorrow. If all goes well, I might even beat my 3 Munros in a single walk, record. That's still a big maybe for now though!

Wecome To the Jungle!

I finally mowed my garden tonight, for the first time this year, and probably 3 weeks later than it should have been done. It was well over a foot tall in some areas and there were dandielions everywhere. It took me 3 hours just to mow it and cut the borders. I hate gardening, that's why I've procrastinated until now. However the forecast for tomorrow is heavy rain, and because Sunday might not be too bad and I'd like to head for Ben Wyvis, I decided just to bite the bullet and do it tonight.

Actually, I'm toying with the idea of going and getting myself a couple of Bulmers. Yep, I think that's a plan. Not too bad a day today, besides the gardening malarkey. I got a lot of work done, good stuff as well, for a change. Things are going to get a lot easier from here on in, so fingers crossed that my essay makes the grade and that I get placed in a decent school for next year. Although I'll just have to take what I get and make the best of it!

5 Hours and 3 Munros!

Yesterday as a family we climbed 3 Munros at the Glenshee ski centre. We got badly sunburned, because it was a scorcher.

Above, the first Munro - Carn Aosda!

Looking across at the Cairnwell form Carn Aosda. The Cairnwell was to be our third Munro of the day!

Heading towards Munro number 2 - Carn a'Gheoidh, centre of image.

This is Loch Vrotochan, a lovely spot. We had our lunch just past here! That's our Munro tally gone from 1 to 4 in the space of 5 hours, although you can add on another 5 hours driving to get there and back again, as well. Next up, Ben Wyvis, probaby!
