Good luck with the "infecting" process
I last took my lad - then about 19 - out to climb the Merrick a couple of summers ago and was rewarded with "what's the point of going up a hill just to come back down??" -obviously he's impervious to infections of this sort
When my human bro came with mum and me up to the far north in early August, mum was sooooo proud that her 2 boys (albeit one canine and one human) were happy to climb 13 500 ft of ascent in 4 days, and look wistfully at the views, the vistas, the Swan vestas too, to cook real food on the trangia, to have pints of wine (!!!!!!), to collect drift wood and build HUGE fires on the beach ably assisted by Aussie Colin and his guitar, mouth organ and stories, stories, stories.
These times with our 'kids' are priceless, and mum reckons it's because Rory grew up in the wilds, appreciates the wilds and even though he lives in the city, still craves the wilds.
And so, October, hills around Loch Lomond with him, then hopefully he'll come to Arran too. He's good fun is Rory!
Woof woof!
