I run a Walking Group for patients/clients as part of my job, and yesterday (Friday) was the latest excursion. We had been planning to do part of the West Highland Way called Conic Hill... we did it 2 years ago, and figured because of the Very high (for Scotland!!) temperatures, we'd skip that and do what looked like a pretty easy section! Oops!! Turned out there were lots of pretty steep climbs, the last one of which was a 300ft ascent in a distance of less than 1/4 of a mile!!

Still, we made it! (just) Nice thing was, we pased and re-passed and passed again a young couple from Hawaii, who'd come over to walk the full 'Way (96 miles!!!) and expected the usual Scottish summer - i.e. wind, rain, midges......... LOL!! THEY made it too, despite the lassie carrying a pretty badly cut knee!!

Anyhoo..... VERY stiff and sore this morning, despite a long soak in the tub last night! The things I do for my job!!
