Anyway, great photos of one of the classic road trips in the UK or anywhere really. Also pleased there is someone else out there who love The Trapdoor other than me and my mate Mark. Very weird and very funny and voiced by the late great Willy Rushton.

back in the old days, before the intern...Hi Carol, <br />back in the old days, before the internet and loads of detailed photos, descriptions,etc at the click of a mouse it was just labeled as the UK's hardest mainland scrambling ridge.( that munro baggers would normally encounter anyway) We only had one book to follow which came out in 1985 called The Munros but before that we had nothing at all to go on so every new munro was ascended in complete ignorance of what lay ahead- an approach I still prefer today for any hill as I rarely look anything up online before I have a go at it as I feel that spoils the fun for me. Years ago I over-researched backpacking across Corsica with the result that most of the views or scrambles encountered I'd already seen numerous times in books from every angle and it did take something away from the experience. <br />If you find it too easy these days I recommend doing it in winter under heavy snow and ice as then any paths are obliterated and it reverts back to being a daunting scramble again :o) I remember Tom Weir bemoaning the fact around the early 1980s that there was now signs of a path emerging over the Aonach Eagach where none had existed before in the 1930s so every generation finds the hills slightly changed.blueskyscotlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09373718369702364265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-36307940105695957632017-05-31T03:18:04.963+01:002017-05-31T03:18:04.963+01:00You have beautiful mountains and lochs in your cou...You have beautiful mountains and lochs in your country!

Think a shallow swamp without any trees with a few 10 foot deep bits. <br />By the size of them they are well over 40-50 years old and might even date to the great estates period. Landowners could do what they wanted then, including banning locals and casual tourists from their property or introduce non native plants and animals on a grand scale- hence wallabies in some areas of Scotland and even weirder creatures.blueskyscotlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09373718369702364265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-56946839430215614512017-05-29T23:06:05.168+01:002017-05-29T23:06:05.168+01:00What a beautiful country we live in!What a beautiful country we live in!Anabel Marshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15643196773717977697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-70549060884233477632017-05-29T18:18:51.481+01:002017-05-29T18:18:51.481+01:00Some lovely photos from your journey - I had no id...Some lovely photos from your journey - I had no idea that some of the lochs on Rannoch Moor were so shallow.<br />I can't help thinking that eucalyptus trees are not really a suitable tree to have growing in the Scottish landscape, and wonder why and who planted them.Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.com
