Tales of walking, running and mood dependent, maybe other random stuff!
With a windy forecast for the mountain tops we opted for a ‘rest’ day. For reasons that currently escape me as I sit post walk with mighty sair feet, we decided to take the bus to the Glencoe Mountain Resort and hoof it back to Tyndrum, stopping for refreshment at Bridge of Orchy.
