What a day! Started more than a wee bit mental and ended up with a sing song on the train and four hysterical hillwalkers
Oh yeah and some hills in between.
Started at Corrour 9am. Jock McJock, Rocket Ron, Andy Millar and their maw. Easy walk along the track but don't go as far as the trees (are you listening RR?) before cutting up the slog bog climb to the ridge of Carn Dearg. Nice walk along to impressive summit cairn. If you're lucky the clag will clear and you'll see you next target off to your right (SE). Straight up path (ish) to sandy summit cairn. Should take about 4 ish hours to get there. Leave two of your group behind because they would rather go to the pub
Head off at speed, me running, Ron strolling!!! and reach hunting lodge by 2.30. Follow path and avoid getting splashed by estate vehicles and try to find break in trees to start ascent of Beinn na Lap. Constantly sink knee deep in boggy shite for the whole of the ascent, curse and swear it helps! Reach summit (not impressive) by 4.15 and look out for other companions heading along the track- couldn't see them ( worry that something has happened to them or think that they have managed to cadge a lift back by friendly estate worker- eh maybe not!!!) Start descent on pathless but not so boggy slopes. Hit landrover track by 5.15 and back in pub by 5.30! Greeted by kisses and hugs by our wee pals who are alive and well and we celebrate with chips and cold Corrour Gold- hoooooraaa!!!
Head out for train at 6.30, possibly commit several crimes by re-creating black and white movies-help!!!
Get on train, join in the party, press nose and camera against the window and see him again- the Werewolf of Rannoch Moor!!!!!! And thanks to McGonagle- sing Ten Guitars for the next 24hrs!!!!
Inga: Werewolf!
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Werewolf?
Igor: There.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: What?
Igor: There, wolf. There, castle.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Why are you talking that way?
Igor: I thought you wanted to.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: No, I don't want to.
Igor: [shrugs] Suit yourself. I'm easy.See I told you about this quote and you didn't believe me!!!!
Arrgggggghhhhh!!!!
