Thanks for the photos Alun. Nice to see somewhere different.

Two weeks till I'm back home in Scotland and out in some hills! Can't wait!

Some great pictures there Alun and Lionel



As some of you know I'm doing the three peaks on saturday the 23rd June, if anyone wants to join us please feel free to come up.

Hi Celtman,

Thanks for your comment. That's good news about your walk to the Three Peaks. Will you have the time to take pictures or is it a competition ? Do you train for it ?

Greetings from the Alps,

I'm a little behind in training but will be making up for it over the next 3 months. I intend to do 2 of the 3 peaks at the end of April so that will be a good -*test*-('").

I will be taking pictures when I do it.




If any Riggies fancy making a weekend of it please feel free to join us in Horton in Ribblesdale as we are staying there from friday till sunday

thanx for the comments guys.
good luck with 3 peaks celty.

Hi

As ever, it's great to see all these pictures! All the best for the 3 Peaks, Celtman - hope the weather is good for you.

On Sunday I had an unexpected chance to grab a day in the hills with a friend so we headed for Glen Etive and climbed a cracking Corbett, Beinn Maol Chaluim, 907m. Spectacular day, sunny, cool breeze and amazing views all round. Not as much snow as I expected left on the tops and very soft at that. Still I managed to sink one leg up to my knee through snow into a burn! Brrrr...Would be the day I didn't bother with gaiters and left the spare socks in the car!

Sheila, thanks for sharing these tremendous pics!

Sheila

Fantastic pictures as always! Didn't like that scary drop one though! Glad you had a good day out.

Can't wait to see you - not long now! Had the books and maps out yesterday. Managed an ok session at the gym today - at long last - and the physio is getting there slowly. So unfit! Those 4 we have planned are going to be a tough day and I certainly won't be at my usual pace. Just have to bring extra chocolate as it will take us longer!

Getting excited now!

Hi Jacqui

If you're not at your usual pace, that'll suit me! I might just about keep up with you!

Took a walk to the top of Dumyat today...another cracking day!

I think it is Lesley. I seem to remember 2 beacons in the ochils being lit quite a few years ago, think it was something to do with D Day or something but I could be wrong.
