Super Burns Suppers
Was away with my old Mountaineering chums - for their annual Burns Supper meet, this time on the shores of Loch Ness. The supper itself was great fun - well organised, and some great speeches and recitations to honour the 'bard'. A couple of days on the hills saw me bring my muckle great 'winter boots' out of semi-retirement.


Some great alpine-like sunny days corbetting way up Glen Affric reminded me all of what I miss about getting onto the hills every weekend. My tired feet reminded me it's high time I came out of kid-induced semi-retirement! Great stuff. A great weekend indeed.
