As I said in my report, most impressed you found the howff as we looked and didn't - obviously didn't try hard enough! :D


It's a nice wee spot, I'm not sure I'll go back that way in the near future though, too many new hills to see :lol:

rockhopper wrote:That looked most enjoyable - good weather decision too. Haven't been up this way having approached these hills from the west but does look interesting esp with the howff - cheers :)


Aye it's a nice walk, really enjoyable day apart from the last few km's lol

Love the howff.... I love places like that, wondering about all the stories their walls could tell.... what they've seen...
Knees and hips for me :( Still, as long as we can put one foot in front of the other, eh?


Cheers, I agree, would loved to have been a fly on the wall when the climbers were in listening to their stories :D

The picture of the inside of the howff made me laugh. It looks as if one of your dogs (Lochy?) photobombed it! :lol: Hope you’ve settled into your new job.


Cheers, you've summed it up well above. Aye he's a wee shite, always trying to get in on the act :lol:
Job going well, too busy for hills just now though :(
