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.

Here are some amazing photos, from a truly amazing walk!!

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.
