Exactly a year ago, literally almost to the day, I hiked Ben Lomond for the first time. Today I got out again with many of the same group. After having a tough day yesterday and feeling a bit confused at the end of this week, the walk was just what I needed.

I spent as much time as I could outdoors while I waited for my unconscious to open a door and beckon.

We went the same route as last year, the difference this year being that the weather was perfect.

Is there a better Saturday to be had than one where you take a long walk up a mountain in the sun? I think not.

I’m feeling super refreshed. Time to plan the next walk.
