Hiked the most beautiful Munro yesterday, it what was glorious conditions (apart from the major bog fest at the beginning).
Ben Lui, 1130m
(Didn’t make it up the adjacent Munro Beinn a’Chlèbh because we took too long enjoying Ben Lui)

Took myself in a nice wee walk from Helensburgh to Garelochhead, following along the Three Lochs Way.
Stretching the legs after the West Highland Way. Gotta keep up the walking!
If anyone has any long walk recommendations that are accessible from Glasgow - let me know!

I started the West Highland Way yesterday with Boots and Beards!
5 of us are taking on our biggest adventure yet - walking 96miles from Milngavie to Fort William. We’re doing it to raise funds to support for Boots and Beards and their outdoor programmes, creating diversity in the outdoors.

What a year!
13 Munros, along with other long excursions around Scotland.
Phew… and lots more in the planning.
Glen Coe, West Highland Way and Ben Nevis on the horizon!
Met so many amazing people, seen many amazing views, plenty of rain and sunshine.

Sometimes you need to know when to say, let’s turn back.
Attempted Tom a' Chòinich & Toll Creagach, Glen Affric today, but it was just too hot!
So we decided to turn back and get berry coolers in Beauly instead.
The sun is not to be messed with, it can be a force.

Recently I’ve assisted with walk leading on Munros with charity Boots and Beards. Promoting access, health and well-being and diversity in the outdoors.
Gaining skills, to help support others to feel comfortable and safe when out and about.

Last Sunday I spent walking with people who immigrated to this country.
People who have studied, live and work here, and even served our country.
We shared the love of the hills, we shared the love of our cultures and we shared our love for Scotland.
We are not strangers, we are friends.

After 7 years of recovering from illness I have taken the last 6 months to delve right back into the outdoors.
Hiking, walking and building community.
It’s been a long rough journey but I’m back.

Boots and Beards is an outdoor charity that aims to breakdown barriers and support access to nature for people from ethic backgrounds.
