Well, what a weekend. I was up north with a few mates doing some hillwalking, but it didnt go without a few hurdles along the way, but il get to that in a minute.
Arrived quite late, got a fire going, had some food, beer, played a bit of guitar etc.
then hit the hay for mornings walk. The Munro we planned to walk was
was Ben Sgulaird, so get up early, breakfest. The hill was quite a cheeky one, just
the way the path goes, oh yeh i had a near miss on the hill, lost my balance on the snow and fell, luckily ross grabded me, but it was scary. We got off the hill pretty late and had a long walk back to the car. My legs by this time were finished and worn out. We stopped off for a pint at the kingshouse hotel, Scotlands oldest inn, its a great pub, had a pint of lattuide a really nice ale, a fitting name for the area. Got back to the campsite, i attempted to light a fire, which failed . When i was collecting firewood, a nail went up a part of shoe and hurt my foot, which resulted me getting a x- ray back in Glasgow. A another fellow hillwalker turned up stephen. I was being slagged for the amount of food i bought, but i stand by the amount, so there you go. I couldnt do the walk the next day due to my foot, so i just hanged around the campsite, palyed the guitar and wrote some songs etc. I went on my bike for a while and took a ride down the glen.

The area of glen coe and glen etive is a great place, a very peaceful place .
its filled with legend and stories of love and war.
