I have always had them, but as you say Kirk, it's heartbreaking when they pass. My boy Wallace loves the outdoors, as do I, so it's great companionship. I am retiring from work in 8 weeks, 36 years with the Water Dept. I am buying a boat for me and Wallace, as he loves water.. Fishing as often as Mrs.Ramy will allow me to..🤣🙂 Forgot to reply at the time. Aye i've never had one to lose so totally dreading it. Aw youll enjoy your retirement and freedom im sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Glen Coe/Loch Ness/Pitlochry tour is the most popular. Jump on anytime! My first tour guiding is Stirling Castle/Loch Lomond/Auchentoshan in a couple of weeks 🚌🏴 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairbairn Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 I've started getting out a bit more over the last few weekends as I build my fitness ahead of Peru in September. A couple of weeks ago we went round Falls of Clyde over at New Lanark and on Saturday there we went up through Mugdock near Milngavie. Only about 12K each but it's a start! Got a week off next week so hoping to do either Ben A'an or Ben Vrackie and continue to get more miles in the legs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’re looking for a relatively local hill that would be good for your training I’d recommend Beinn an Lochain at the top of the Rest and be Thankful. Crackin hill and although it’s only a few metres short of a Munro, it’s a fairly quick up and down, mainly because it’s a relatively short/sharp accent/descent. The views at the top are well worth the effort. https://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/lochlomond/beinn-an-lochain.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the best of jobs, but everybody has to start somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairbairn Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Climbed Conic Hill at the weekend there. Had been waiting to do it for a while as they'd closed it down while they made improvements to the path due to the amount of footfall it sees. Was surprised, and a wee bit disappointed, at just how short it was! We were up and down in little over an hour when I expected to to be closer to 3! It was a beautiful day mind you and the views from the top were spectacular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
