A wee wander...

...in the Ochils today. With MrR, the Fangler and a special guest appearance from the Buncle. Not of his choosing I should add but after a fortnight of almost constant Xbox he didn’t have a choice.

This boy was a challenge to get up the first part. The Law is pretty steep and relentless...not a lot of wee plateaus to get your breath back but oh...the drama!

According to him, he couldn’t breath, his legs were packing in, he was going to be sick! It was stop, stop, start, stop, stop...

I oscillated between the Mom from the Lost Boy’s all sweet and encouraging to the Sergeant in An Officer and a Gentleman...lol!

Anyway, The Law out of the way it all became a bit less tense and more enjoyable. Breezy at the summit of Ben Cleuch we hunkered down behind the wee shelter round the trig point to eat our pieces.

Then it was onward to Ben Ever on our descent back to Tillicoultry.

I’m truly hoping he remembers this walking today and how by perseverance he worked his way through and out of the difficult bit. He has his challenges this one and it won’t belong before he is walking out of the School building for the last time. Life is tough and he needs to build his resilience. There may be more hill walking in his future...ssshhh, don’t tell him.

The Rooster was helping at a Come and Try day at the Rowing Club and oor Es was working again :-)

Grateful for a wee sunny afternoon in the hills with MrR and two of the Barmy Army.
