Fort Bill & Glen Coe

Helen and I packed up the van an headed for a weekend out West. A really pleasent mountain bike on Saturday following the Caladonian Canal and hike up in Glen Coe on Sunday.

 Neptune's Staircase and Helen's leg are really that short!

Park and Ride

So after atempting to get to Glen Shee only to find the roads blocked because of the snow, Oli and I headed over to Dunkeld to meet up with Kat and head up 'Birnam Hill' and find some POW! And we were not disappointed!

Heading up the narrow path

Just incredible

Fair play to the folks that were out mountain biking

Could have done with some wind!!!

Fantastic colours
