Ramblings of a lover of high ground and wild country who. Thirteen kilometres past bridge of Orchy! I vent my frustration on an unintended section of the West Highland Way. Walking fast, stomping hard, pummelling the ground with my feet and the air with my hands.

My first event for quite a while, there were two main reasons for signing up for this one. Firstly to start the build up to my main aim of the year and secondly to introduce my new training partner to LDWA events. I will get to the plans for the rest of the year later. Great support, food and weather. What is next then, well having said how great the LDWA events I have entered some different events this year. The Wye One Way 50. Better start getting the weekly mileage up.

So I decided discretion was the better part of valour and so went home on Monday. Place Fell appears to have very little snow.

Walking,backpacking and camping blog. A Quick Backpack on Kinder. My first backpack of the year was the last weekend in March. I had been watching the weather forecast for this week and it looked like it was going to be a cracker. Beautiful spring weather but cold at night. Pleasant start to the walk along the Sett Valley trail. Lunch was taken at the Pym and go.

The already-dead tree had collapsed in a windstorm last year. To finish them, I soaked them in olive oil for a day. The tree was likely the victim of the Emerald Ash Borer.
