Pap of Glencoe
Posted: Tue Mar 29, 2011 1:12 pm
Utterly fed up with work on Friday I decided I needed to get out of the office. I didn't have enough time to do anything major, but at the same time I didn't just want to do a walk round the garden, so a quick flick through the weather sites and webcams later and I decided to head towards Glencoe, it's only an hour away so it would leave me time do amble about a bit before the sun packed in for the day. I printed off a few walks from here and downloaded a few gpx files. Arriving at Glencoe I picked the Pap of Glencoe as most of the sunshine seemed to be at that end.
That's the pre trip planning done, now onto the walk report ...
The Walk Report.
Well, basically, I walked to the top and then walked down again. I spoke to a nice Yorkshire couple for a while, took some photos, swore at my mobile phone (how dare it ring at me!), and ate three fake sausage rolls.
In place of anything interesting to write, here's a few snaps.
On the way up
Near the top
At the top
Also at the top, but to the left a little bit
On the way back down, it was greying up a bit although the dark clouds never came to anything
On the way home, I just had to take a photo of a Peugeot 306
That's about it really.
Oh, California Innovations backpack/water carrier thing - can't say I'm impressed. Too short on the back and the straps wouldn't stay tight
