Outdoors again
Some brief notes on study so far:
1. It’s intensive – I thought that coming from work it would be relatively easy but it’s tough
2. Writing notes by hand after so many years of barely scrawling my signature is a real change; being left handed means I hold a pen in an unconventional style and the callus on my middle finger, which had disappeared after my undergraduate days is coming back. Handwriting is illegible to anyone but myself so perhaps a career in espionage awaits
3. Nerdily I have an additional operating system on my pc now but I will refrain from commenting on that now…
4. Study is a great way to lose weight and get fit – down to my 35 minutes each way walk and also since my time is quite regimented the opportunities for “bun runs” and “sweetie table pit stops” have vanished.
Anyway the weather at the weekend supported a trip to the Highlands and a first time visit to the Monadhliath range in North East Scotland. The feel of the range is quite different to Glencoe, with the sense of wilderness very strong. We went up A’Chailleach and saw no other person in any direction, ascent or descent.
Fresh air
The blog’s already turning into a mixed bag 
but here’s the first photograph: the Nevis Range taken 4 weeks ago from the top of Ben Lawers.
