Walkhighlands

Me and my mate decided to take his wee boy up into the lost valley
for a bit of wild camping and to give him a feel for the great outdoors.
so after his aunt getting him his 1st pair of walking boots for his birthday
and him packing his bag full of sweets and choc's,off we went on what was to be a
great 24hrs in the valley.
It took us maybe 1hr to get up into the valley collecting wood as we went,
for a wee fire to create the atmosphere that we wanted,so after getting tents up
the fire was soon taking shape and the deer had started to drop into the valley,
which the boy was keen to get closer to
after some dinner and a wander about for wood it was getting dark and the young one
was ready for his sleeping bag.
his father and me sat by the fire and had a dram or two
debating whether to go up bidean with him in the morning or not???
when morning came it became clear we HAD to take him up bidean
as the views where going to be great and it is a hill we have both done many times,
so here is a selection of photos of a wee boys first hill and this is my 1st walk report so sorry for the out of sequence photos (i'll get the hang of it) The young lads's name is johnny G and he's 8 years old,he had a great introduction
to hillwalking and really impressed me and his father so we cant wait to get him out again and you've guessed it neither can he!!!

Congratulations johnny G - well done !

That's you started, there'll be no stopping you now

Nice report 'Deadeven' - great to see a young un out and about on the hills having such a good time with his dad. Great pics too

Congratulations johnny - a great effort on your first outing

What a thrill for the lad and the dad. And what a great mountain to climb. Good stuff and will be looking out for his walk reports.

I have to laugh at the wee man doing "The Broony" in a couple of the pictures

He'll be keen to do a few more I imagine and from the looks of it he had decent weather for his first Munro. Great stuff.

Well done Johnny and what a fantastic Munro to be your first Love the campfire photos too, it looks like you all had a great time

Well done Johnny G from Johnny C even though you're wearing a Celtic top

Thats quite a mountain for a first munro, great stuff.

Congrats to the wee fella Not too keen on the top though Just kidding

Well done to you all, great to be able to share such a great pastime and a superb choice for a first Munro!

and given him even more encouragement
