Winnie happy after the hill


As Winnie is now fully grown, I thought our wee holiday North would include a highish-level walk with man's best friend. Mrs K was beach-combing so Winnie and I headed from the Polbain village directly up the path. Within 35 minutes, we were at the top and Winnie loved it. For a peak at 204m, the views are pretty special although on the poorest day weather-wise that we had, it didn't truly do it justice. As the rain started to pour down, we dashed off the hill and were back at the car within 25 minutes. A good dry off and she chilled out beside the fire later. Bliss. A great wee hill day with my wee bat-eared pal.

Well done Winnie. Views look good for such a short wander. I'm a big fan of sea views. :D
