Fantastic day hiking in the Black Cuillin mountains in perfect sunshine. Gradual slope gave way to the steepest hiking yet, and an astounding view from the ragged ridge at the top. We happened on a summit party where a fellow had just completed climbing all 283 Munros, and offered us Champagne. We've climbed 6 now. My knee wasn't as well behaved today.
I tried CWX tights which helped but got me some odd looks.

The hike was followed by the Talisker distillery tour, then a wonderful seafood dinner. Maybe some real Scottish weather tomorrow. Oh well, my knee needs a break.

Beautiful sunny day, so off to climb 3 more Munros. Excellent hiking , no crowds, fantastic views and my knee behaved pretty well.

We've decided to drop down to the B course at the LAMM , but not drop out.

Bash and I set out to climb the UK's mightiest peak, Ben Nevis.
We hiked at a good clip past perhaps 200 hikers into the cloud and fog. At the summit we could barely see 50M between cairns, but still a fun trip.
Trotted down out of the clouds and driving rain.
I'll see if the advil and poles and 6 days off save my knee.

A full day of walking around Edinburgh. See Bash's log for pics.
Nice hike up Arthur's Seat to start things off. Weather is as advertised- some sun, some wind, some rain. Food and coffee far better than advertised so far.
