My favourite walk of 2017…
There of course, could only be one favourite walk of 2017! That would of course be the walk that, I did with Nick up Ben Nevis, which is the highest mountain in the British Isles!!
And just to show that we really did it! The route we took can be seen at www.strava.com/activities/1088565730.

Walk : Water track, Glengoyne Distillery, West Highland Way
That sure was a great 7.1 mile walk with Neil. The walk started and ended in Killearn. We left the village using the water track, then walked down to the Glengoyne Distillery, then walked along part of the West Highland Way, then up Station Road and back to the start point in Killearn.
The full route we took can be found over at www.strava.com/activities/1331741555.

Snowdon and Ben Nevis ✅
Still can’t believe that I am done both Snowdon and Ben Nevis this year! Just need to make sure, that I do Scafell Pike at some point next year!!
Here are the two vlogs while doing Snowdon and Ben Nevis 🙂
My first EVER wetsuit!
Yep, I’ve still got my first ever wetsuit, which is a O’Neill Hammer Spring Suit. Which I got from the O’Neill shop in Buchanan Galleries, in Glasgow. The shop, has long gone. But the memories of getting it have not! Till this day, it’s the only wetsuit, I’ve got it person! All the others, I’ve got on-line! I still remember picking it up and going to till to pay for it!
If it had not been for that wetsuit, then my now “famous” Wetsuitlads website, may never have started!
