Up and down again

Loch Lyon

On one of our rare weekends free, one of rach’s workmates (a dude from Chch) organized a hill climb up at Glen Lyon in the highlands. So after a 3hr drive on a Saturday morning, we drove through the glen, got to the loch and the start of the hike. So without much of a story here’s some photies of up and down again.

At the end of the loch was damn impressive dam (for the middle of nowhere)

Rach, looking down on those that couldn’t keep up with her blistering pace

Long story short, a Munro is any peak in Scotland which is over 3000 ft. And even thought our GPS’s said it was over the limit I had to make sure. Only to find out that the peak we were on wasn’t classed as a Munro as it wasn’t 500ft vertically clear of another peak.

So sorry rach, all that effort and all we got was a couple of stinky corbets

Ahh well, that was fun….. where the nearest pub then?

If you’ve managed to read all of the last 3 blogs……..well besides having nothing productive to do you should be right up to date with what me and Rachel have been up to since February.

Keep an eye on the site over the next month as we’re off to Greece and Turkey in a weeks time, so hopefully lots more sun kissed photos and tales of magical places outside of the bubble that is NZland.
