I’d be up for that, but I’d end up not interested in the walking part…..!!!!!

I’d be too interested in finding a sneaky spot to get naked LOL

Picos are lovely, stunning scenario, great mountains, great food, friendly locals ….but the weather can be mixed even in summer !

Once you get to the top it’s a great feeling, just take it easy and don’t do anything strenuous.

We love hillwalking and discovering new Munros, usually between April and September. Reading this thread though makes us wonder if we’ve passed by or even chatted to fellow walkers who share our other passion.

I’ve done a few over the years. Looking to start taking a more active interest in going new places, been up Ben Lomond a few times as well as the cobbler.

Can’t think of a better way to get fit, apart from the obvious

"I definitely want to start that this year "

If your first time, depends on location, look for simplistic hillwalking areas to get you started and grow from there, cant tell you how it gripped me and I love it now.

Everyone needs to be respectful of what we have, Scottish hillwalking is amazing, walking in absolutely beautiful countryside and hills and mountains but can also be hard and dangerous especially if not prepared correctly.

I've done it for years and even I get caught out at times.

As I'm typing this I'm even thinking where I want to go next

Wishing everyone breathtaking times and memeories that will live forever

Before you go hill walking get yourself a decent pair of boots and two pairs of socks.

If you feel unsafe or you can’t complete the Munro. Turn back you can come back another day to try again.

Try Conic first at Balmaha. Nice big carpark so no issues parking. Conic gives you spectacular views of loch lommond.
