Pare Maja:-( she's gettin aw excited when she sees ma kit, but she's had pups 3 weeks ago and i think she better stay wi them the day !!
So left at 7.15 fi Larbert, first time av tin the wife wi me, so it's her first ever trip past Callender !! Really quiet road up, parked, changed and ready to go at 9.45. Low cloud and near constant rain but the boggy ground aint as bad as expected and easily negotiable. Nae pictures on the way up it was too wet, around 800m the snow startsand by 850m the winds howling too, maybe 50/60mph but we get to the top, wind assissted!!, without much trouble.
