Uncle jackie far left there at the foot of Ben A'an in the forest. Same for me on the right of Jackie.
That's Jackie on the top of Meikle Ben above and below on Ben A'an with Loch Katrine in the background.
Sae meikle but, sae meikle ben! (which when translated means....)
so much at one end of the house, so much at the other!
Just an interesting wee snippet from a traditional scottish song called...A woman's work is never done! Anyhoo...These are photo's from our first day out that i forgot to post. 2 great days walking (and breaking in those fabulous new walking boots from a fabulously generous bro and family at xmas!)
Walk 1: Ben A'an 454m (1488ft) at the edge of Loch Achray.
Beautiful weather for walking despite the mad cloud that descended at the summit.
Thankfully, it disappeared as quickly as it arrived and the views were spectacular.
Walk 2: Meikle Bin 570m (1100ft), Campsie Fells.
A stairmaster climb for me since my legs are not used to the climbing. Again a
a beautiful day and very enjoyable ascent up. It was lovely and clear I could the see
Forth Road bridge amongst other spectacular views. The wind on the summit was full
force which I found incredibly amusing whilst posing for photo's!
Here are some of our pic's.....

Hey Nessie..Howdy to you too.Yep, missing you too and thanks for the lovely comment about the blog.Funny you should mention the earwax elves. Grandpa found a rather rambunctious little fellow making his way out of his ear on a cotton bud. Can you imagine Grandpa's face?!The little fellow said that due to overcrowding in there...he had to get out for a breather!Big HugA-W x
