Just nipped out for a short walk











On our last day off we decided to go for a drive through to Glen Coe and then go for a walk. The weather was surprisingly good so we decided to climb a mountain, Stob Coire Nan Lochan to be exact, a mountain amongst the three sisters, 1115 metres almost straight up.
It was a fairly tough walk up to the top and the last 50 or so metres we had to climb up almost vertical cliffs, but it was well worth it as the views were stunning We could see for miles as none of the other peaks around us -with the exception of Ben Nevis (UK's tallest mountain)- were covered with clouds. The wind at the top was very strong and freezing cold, nice though after a 3 hour climb.
On the way down Eva caught a frog and Adam tried to catch a sheep but only Eva was successful. The frog was very slow and stupid, maybe because it was so cold?
We are still astounded here by the amount of water, everywhere water just seems to ooze out of the ground. Makes for a very squelchy time.
Needless to say we have been suffering for the last few days in the leg department but we've got our sights set on the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs (I think that's the right spelling-can't be bothered checking) national park for our next day off.
Photos: Views aplenty, Do we look suitably frozen? Riddip
