The Whangie

Mrs 24601's walking boots were christened today with a climb from Queens View to The Whangie in the Kilpatrick Hills.

I gotta confess, I hate hill walking. I really can't see the pleasure or feel the fun. I understand the attraction, but it's not for me.

I don't mind a brisk walk as Blips passim will re-inforce - in fact going a day without getting outside is a bummer.

But actual out-of-breath-climbing-mountains? No.

The terrain en-route to the 'summit' was awful and in parts quite treacherous, which did not add to my joy. At all.

Still, I accept it's me that's out of step (see what I did there?) as the walk was busy with a steady stream of would be Tom Weirs.
