Esther and I setting out at 7.20am from Kenknock, Glen Lochay. What an adventure we had including climbing gates, styles and fording rivers but we had such fun!!!

Me nearing the end of our walk and the winding road we started out on in the distance.

We spent an hour on top of Sgiath Chuil just drinking in the fabulous scenery and blethering. We saw herds of deer, buzzards flying and of course lots of sheep. The weather was glorious and we did cover more than the 6 hours we had planned to walk. Next Saturday it's going to be a 8 hour walk/trek and with lots of offers to accompany me - not sure if that's for the pleasure of my company or to make sure I don't get lost??? I'm considering others in that area - even Beinn Heasgarnich!! Douglas is going to keep me right as he tells me he has GPS, so my map reading and compass skills will not be required!! I've still to plan and fit in another 8 hour walk the following week/weekend and then 2 x 8 hour walks the final week/weekend before leaving on 21st August - Yippee!! Got a lot of juggling to do with work, study, a wedding and the Edinburgh Festival etc but hey the hills are on my doorstep so I should be on track.

Thank you everyone for your support financial, equipment, walking partners and encouragers.
