Logbook
My logbook is a list of things I've done, usually related to outdoor activites and adventures.
🚴 Neilston, Lochwinnoch, Paisley Loop Decent wee loop on the bike, over the braes to Lochwinnoch from Neilston and took the cycle path through to Paisley then up through Barrhead. ~25miles on the legs and it felt decent.⛰️ Ben Lomond The weather was spot on—clear blue skies and barely a breath of wind. It was great to get the crampons on again and trudge through the snow and ice.🥾 Inchcailloch Finally got Carter on the wee ferry (Margaret) over to Inchcailloch for a wander with my mum. We splashed about the water, chasing the minnows and explored the island. Weather was great and we all had a lovely day.⛰️ Glen Loin Loop Great day out as usual. Glen Loin Loop at Arrochar, lovely cold day with cracking views.⛰️ Conic Hill Wee jaunt up Conic Hill with Jack Pat. Weather wasn't great but we had a good time.🚴 100 mile cycle around Isle of Cumbrae Great day out as usual. This was our third trip to Cumbrae in 3 years to raise money for the STV Childrens Appeal. I managed 10 laps of the island (100 miles) in just over 7 hours. Excellent film photos by Max.🚴 Cycling the Great Glen Way Some photos from a weekend gravel cycling in the Scottish Highlands.⛺ Camping at Loch Ossian (Corrour) One midge-free night camping on the banks of Loch Ossian, apparently on a bay named "Shaggers Bay".⛰️ Ben Vorlich (Loch Lomond) A strangely snowless ascent of Ben Vorlich in January.⛰️ Kinlochleven to Fort William Second of three days on the West Highland Way with Eejas, Craig and Grant. The descent into Kinlochleven is brutal.🥾 Inveroran to Kinlochleven Second of three days on the West Highland Way with Eejas, Craig and Grant. The descent into Kinlochleven is brutal.🥾 Crianlarich to Inveroran First of three days on the West Highland Way with Eejas, Craig and Grant. Weather was good, not too warm and the midges were fine. Slight drizzle getting into Inveroran but nothing major.⛰️ The Pap of Glencoe (Sgorr na Ciche) & Inveroran Climb of The Pap and a stay at Inveroran with the maw.🥾 Rowardennan to Beinglas Farm Preparation for the West Highland Way with Grant and Stewart.🚴 Cycling Milngavie to Balmahah along the West Highland Way Gravel cycling along the first leg of the West Highland Way⛰️ Goatfell Suprised my mum by ferrying over to Arran (where she was staying) for a hike up Goatfell on her 60th birthday.⛰️ Beinn a'Chlèibh No note added.
⛰️ Ben Lui Polly organised a climb up Ben Lui in support of the STV Children's appeal with some friends and folk from STV.⛰️ Ben Lui First time solo ascent up Ben Lui. Boggy and snowy but bloody brilliant.⛰️ Ben Dorain Ben Dorain had been on my radar since I first seen it while driving the A82. Great mountain but a roasting hot day.⛰️ Ben Nevis Post-lockdown hike up Ben Nevis with my mum.⛰️ Callandar to Killin No note added.
