Hiking Scotland: Aonach Eagach, Lost Valley, and Bidean nam Bian in Glencoe
Had a pretty special weekend camping and hiking in Glencoe, Scotland in the first three days of September. I’ve been to some amazing places in the world (and done some great hiking in Scotland), and this one is definitely up at the top. If you like the outdoors at all, this one should be on…

Hiking in Scotland: Dumgoyne Hill
I tried hiking Dumgoyne hill before via a different route and didn’t make it up. It’s such a small hill in comparison to others that I’ve done that it’s kind of ridiculous, but I finally made it up today with my brother-in-law. Similar to my last hike, the weather was pretty poor, but it beat…

A hike up Meikle Bin
It had been a long time since I got out on a hike (5 months to be exact) but today I had a rare Monday off, plus the weather was dry, so I had to take advantage.

My annual hike up Ben Lomond ☀️
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…

Back to Chatelherault
In between house stuff we explored our favorite park today. It’s been almost a year since our last visit. A much needed summer respite.
