Hi Sarah, I look forward to seeing Penny in the foreground with the Buachaille in the background, that would be a classic picture. Hurry up and do it before the snow comes! :)


I know, I will need to get a move on. Although as Penny gets older she has her days where she isn't as keen on hill walking so I never know whether it is a wasted trip or not, would still rather not reach the top and have her with me though :-) She has already been posing at the Buachaille the other week :lol:
