He said "some will climb Corbetts but Alistair and I will walk up a
Munro, if you would like to join us please let me know, a very small non
taxing hill" So I called… And the car came to pick me up, Sunday
morning, 7 o’clock on the bridge.

the air, on top of the hill we all held hands |
| T |
he way up was breezy and the way
down very easy with strong wind in our backs |
| |
|
| O |
n reaching the top, "you must
touch the stone at the top of the cairn", |
| U |
nder your feet the world below just
looks so small, the air is pure and the view perfect, as good as
a postcard. |
| T |
ISO supplied the rented boots, hard
on my feet, hard on the ground |
| D |

tripped on the heather |
| O |
n the snow up at the top and the
grass down below walking was hard but |
