Yesterday we did a fantastic duo of Munros in Knoydart in beautiful, almost balmy weather. Meall Buidhe and Luinne Bheinn. Only 66 to go now. The bracken was high as we started out - I'm so glad we did this walk in June, the bracken will be a lot higher in a month's time! Another excellent although very tiring day on the hill and a very welcome beer and packet of crisps on the way back to our accommodation, at Knoydart's Community run pub - The Old Forge. What a great place. We have loved it here, but are heading off on the ferry this morning back to Mallaig and onwards to Glenfinnan.
My 'wee' boy's birthday today. 29 years old. How time flies!
Sorry I haven't been commenting much - can't blame the internet. It's excellent. Just no time. Normal service will be resumed soon! :-)
Wonderful capture of John in all that lush green, it must have been pretty tricky to get through! As usual I thoroughly enjoyed your narrative and wish you all the best for the next stop :-)
Eish! Not my favourite for ploughing through. I have never forgotten a similar sigh with gorse in Ireland. I was torn to pieces by the time we made it through it! Nice shot of the intrepid adventurer. Happy birthday to your wee boy! Mine has his in a couple of days too.
Wow - all that bracken is amazing. Do you get snakes where you live?. I love the way that tall, pink wildflower is just popping up out of the bracken...
Happy Birthday to your son!
