Morning from cold, wet and windy Alba,
Ok a few folks here making noise about a hiking trip if Alba.
I'd love to conduct a hiking tour for folks who want it, this could be done with a week long tour.
Fly in and use first day to get to where we need to be, last min check of hiking gear and kit, eat sleep.
This would be a SEPERATE tour from the Bronach one....this is hiking alone!!!
The next five days we can hike, this means ALL day out on the mountains...these are mostly exposed high tops so proper gear and a decent level of fitness would be needed!!!
Flying in i'd like to make it Glasgow, closer to the west coast highlands for starting our climb & finishing and i feel we can have a right good day out in Glasgow as our last day !
Yes Glencoe will be taken in, as will some other great Scottish ranges....but i stress these mountains are not a walk in the park...mostly all over 3000ft and usually its straight up from sea level.
Saying that its not a race...the mountains not going anywhere so we can take our time, i want you all to see and feel the peace that these mountains can bring.
We will be staying in Hotels, makes it easier on all of us, good food and drink at the end of a climb...i dont know about you folks but i love to eat after a hike. Also warm clean beds, hot shower and a hearty breakfast will make it easier getting out and onto the mountains again the next day!
Bill Reid will be working with me on this project, his skill with all the booking logistics is second to none and i'll sleep better at night knowing he's involved.
I'll be your personal mountain guide so no worries about getting lost out there, i'll make sure everyone is safe and sound!
So....Scottish wilderness, Mountains, cozy bars, good company, singing in a mini bus, sore feet, photos to die for....the list goes on!!!
Jamesie...
