I went out with our Friday walking group yesterday. There were only 6 of us, as it started out very wet. However, it did improve as we walked, and by the time we were on the way home, the sun was out. Although this photo is a wee bit dark, I liked the way the far hills were starting to appear from the heavy cloud and mist. You can see that Angus (Top Dog) is keeping a watchful eye.
@happypat Truth be known, Top Dog was exhausted. He's 9, and found a tennis ball on the hill, which people kept throwing for him. And he kept begging for more. His mum kept telling he'd be overtired, but did he listen?! No. ;-)
@randystreat In general, routes and paths in the hills are not marked in Scotland, other than around villages. We have several low level routes around our village where tourists and locals can follow way markers. However, most of what we do is not marked. Our OS maps are essential for checking out paths and possible routes in advance. We do, however, have a book of Munros, with excellent descriptions of where to park and the best way to proceed. 70% of the time we are on well-trodden paths, but sometimes we have to go 'off-piste' if it's a lesser walked hill. All part of the process, especially for hubby, who loves planning the walk and navigating to points on the OS map.
