Friday 30th July 2004
Weather/Conditions: Warm day, with blue skies and some cloud. I think there might have been some wind at the summit although it wasn't too bad.
Distance/Ascent/Time: 8km / 350m / 4h
Accompanying: Dad
From the top we headed down a direct route on the eastern flank of the hill. By the time we reached the track back to Strathblane, my feet were in complete pain and the walk back felt dreadful - not enjoyable at all. Why was I so excited about getting out to hillwalk again? :) One of the funny things about this hillwalk was the size of my rucksack - the amount of stuff I was carrying was completely unnecessary but I guess it probably got me in good habits in the long run about prepared-ness. A nice day though, even if the feet got sore. The nails softened until I could peel the ends of effortlessly in the car. Yuck.
