Valentine's Weekend in Glencoe...Love is a Battlefield

[magicdin]

:lol: Well it wasn't big or padded... it was pink-ish...

[mountain coward]

Hate to think what face you'd have put out there if it had been huge and padded as well as pinkish...!

Well Walk Aboot, what an entertaining read and a fine trip report.
One of my friends went walking out by the Blackwater Dam on Saturday - if he saw the Eagle flying from right to left does that mean his luck was out.
Given the frasgility of his ticker it could well have been if he had seen your pal walking around half clad.
Oh and the rugby tour went fine - including the Northern Constabulary giving 2 of us a lift home on Saturday night after one other more elderly member of the party tried to take all the steps outside the Tailrace pub in a one-er and gashed his head.Got to be grateful to the bar staff, and several of the regulars who helped patch him up. Obviously he got loads of sympathy from us - LOL -
You would have been welcome in the minibus - if you could have flagged it down in time as the driver had a concrete brick for a foot and we must have been a blur to you. Got to the Kingshouse - after a stop in Glencoe to remeber a couple of absent friends - at about 12 and of course with typical Kingshouse hospitality they refused to open up for the purchase of strong drink till 12.30 (fortunately the co-op in Kinlochleven had been selling it since 10.00 Sunday morning) when will we ever get it right in this country?

Hi Andy


Glad to hear your weekend went as I thought it might


Talking about ageing...one of the gents in Carol's party was in his 60s. He did the Aonach Eagach Ridge for the umpteenth time on Saturday but fell on the way back down, when he was well off the ridge. I'm just thinking the medical staff at A&E in Fort William might of thought he was just some other old bloke who had tripped over his slippers and that's why he had a nasty gash on his knee and a bruise above his eye.


As for the eagle...proved my point exactly...your mate really was unfortunate to miss a half-clad woman a walking in the hills

...And by the same reckoning, the next time I'm out walking, Joaquin Phoenix is likely to turn up Johnny Cash-style and ask to share my soggy sandwiches (can't wait, excited ).


Good walk the Ballachulish Horseshoe .

Give MC a welcome to the digital image world from me......quite an appropriate first image given the banter surrounding her walking attire pity that you didn't get the other Corbett into the frame...a kind of outlier of the Aonach Eagach.

[mountain coward]

Well they may not be large or padded, but they're certainly not different sizes!!

pity that you didn't get the other Corbett into the frame...a kind of outlier of the Aonach Eagach.

I think you're right gaffr, that would have been a nice photo - get your act together MC, must do better in digital photo-taking class!

Hello and goodbye!....It's goodbye, because i never saw you to say so before you left on the Sunday, and thank you for your good company.
I wished I had come with you both on that walk (really enjoyed your report) as it would have been nice to see the Pap(s) of Glencoe out in all there glory!
Back in the hostel of being told of the "top off" story, I was hoping that they would turn the heat up...no such luck
That was funny as i was looking through a magazine, when i thought that I saw a picture of Carol shopping in her local supermarket.....a lady in bra and knickers pushing her trolly along the ailes
On our walk on the sunday up Meall Lighiche even though it was cold and cloudy, Carol was down to her base layer again...if only the sun had come out

[walk aboot]

...I did say 'morning' when I saw you sitting at breakfast before I left though ...I was in a rush to visit the brilliant wee tearoom at Ballachulish before my bus came.

Yup, erm, I think Carol's bra-wearing is now legendary, so I'm not surprised it's being featured in magazines

[mountain coward]

Ah, now I'm not one of those who shop in supermarkets in underwear or pyjamas! That's just common! Plus you'd freeze as you passed the freezer sections! But just to be clear, I didn't get down to my bra the second day, just my thin under-shirt... it would definitely have needed the sun out that day I think as it was pretty b*** cold on the summit ridge!

:lol: Well it wasn't big or padded... it was pink-ish...

As requested read walk aboots report.Thank god I sent out a warning... cos you scare me!, anyway enjoy Scotland!

[mountain coward]

If guys can take off their shirts when out walking no reason why gals can't! That's what I say...
