… are lost – we all know this one but I found myself saying it in earnest for the first time at the weekend.

We went for a “quick hit “ to Meikle Bin , a small 570m hill in the Campsie Fells , just north of Glasgow . Long story short .. wrong car park .. a much longer walk ensued but a lovely day out , a lot of in the forest trails and one very overgrown out of use path , a lovely summit and the worst heel blisters I’ve had in ages ( lockdown feet!)

Great to be out of the house proper and to just breathe it in again – off to Cairngorms next week for Fiacaill ridge and can’t wait – getting back in the saddle !
