What a cracking adventure, Alex! ๐Ÿ˜ฒ I did read the localโ€™s name as Stan Bob before realising ๐Ÿ˜‚

Those photos look stunning - makes all the pain getting up there worth it Iโ€™m sure ๐Ÿ˜Š (Easy for me to say, sat munching on a bacon sarnie whilst reading this!)

The Local may well have been called Stan ๐Ÿ˜œ I love that! Itโ€™s a carving of the Reverend John McIntosh, that replaced a stone statue from the 1900โ€™s that was destroyed in the 70โ€™s. Trying to look all knowledgeableโ€ฆ.but thatโ€™s what the sign said! I wish there was a cafe at the top selling bacon sarnies!

Oh...that does sound a bit of an adventure (says the person who gave up hill walking many years ago after getting soaked and then sick).

Hill walking in Scotland can definitely be a soggy affair! That sounds grim getting sick after a hill walk!
