2 from Crainlarich...

On Monday just past (21st March) myself and Josh headed to Crainlarich in order to bag a few Munros.

After heading up the long steep slope from Benmore farm we finally reached the summit of our 1st Munro of the day, Ben More 1174 Metres. After a quick sandwich we set off from the summit in tyical winter winds following a bearing before finally arriving at the saddle below the summit.From here we made our way up the wide ridge through driving winds and before long arrived at Munro number 2 for the day, Stob Binnein 1165 metres.

After bagging both Munros we headed down Benmore burn and eventually found ourselves back at the train station. Another QMD in the bag!

SECC Work...

As of the last couple of weeks I have been freelancing with Can You Experience. Can You are a local company based on Loch Lomond and provide a range of activities at a range of locations.

From the 10th to the 13th of March we operated a stall as part of the Scottish Cycling, Running and Outdoor Pursuits show.

As part of the show we held a stall and operated both a climbing tower and a segway course.

Also at the show were a range of Scottish athletes both past and present such as Graeme Obree and Mark Beaumont holding a range of talks and lectures.

On the Saturday I even managed to hold and break the record for the 40 metre sprint, Coming in at 4.1 seconds. Until I was challenged by the Scottish champion and put in my place...

A very hectic but great corporate working experience.

Local Walks...

Having recently moved back to Scotland I have taken the opportunity to get out and do family walks of the local hills.
