Crianlarich - Ft William ()

Scenery improving all the way.. getting back to home, with improved mountain scenes.. going over Glen Coe was enjoyable.. the hills moody with the mist. Excellent scenery, fit for any post card. Made the last stretch from ballahullish to Ft. William at about 17 mph.. improving average by .5 mph for the trip. Fuel becoming a problem, due to the blockades going in around the UK. Dogs were sick in the night in the van..

Ben Nevis, 4406ft ()

Glorius day for climbing the ben.. stayed dry throughout, and amazingly enough got a great view from the summit. Went through most of my film taking scenic shots. Went down the direct route.. the Red Burn route the the hill runners take.. may have been a bad move, but made it off the hill before anyone else at the top. Van cleaned out.
