If you look at the Ochils escarpment from the South, Myreton Hill is the third one from the left after Castle Law and Dumyat. 387 Eurometres above Menstrie
A watery sun kept trying to come out. There was a cold breeze. It felt good. Very good.
The jury is still out on the effect on the tootsies, but otherwise everything seemed to function as well as could be expected.
I met a couple of old codgers ( one who had done all the UK 3000s) and we talked about places and people we had known. Until the snell wind started to take it's toll on malfunctioning circulatory systems..
A cross between a style and a cattle grid ?

My new flask. Four squid off eBay.
It was that kind of day.
Four English Pounds (oooh: Topical!) And you've scratched it already.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a good walk. Top!
Part of the ritual - making your butties and filling your flask in the dark.
DeleteT.S.Eliot, health and fitness advice and now some dub reggae - it's all here! And free too!

DeleteWe're coming down that way for a wedding in July, but sadly it'll only be a flying visit, so no chance to 'trot' up that hill for such a fab view. (It's a wedding, it'll be raining anyway...)
ReplyDeleteBring your boots anyway, Louise. A fit young thing like yourself could nip up Myreton, Dumyat, or The Nebit in a couple of hours. Ideal hangover cure !
DeleteMe? Hangover? Oh yes, it is a(n outlaws) wedding. Best endured inebriated. I'll bring m' boots...

ReplyDeleteThe 'Reply' button?
DeleteActually, I don't think that function will be available on Alan's Amstrad 1512.

ReplyDeleteToo right OM! I don't have this magnificent facility on my commenty thing. How did you get that?
ReplyDeleteWhere can I get one?
This is the white heat of correspondence, we're are talking about for Blogger!
That last deleted comment was from me. Even worse punctuation than usual. I couldn't let it stay like that.
Don't worry about it, Alan. It's just a little gizmo they give you when you achieve Elite Blogger status.
DeleteWoo Hoo!
ReplyDeleteI have had the bonnet up and am now all covered in engine grease. The Old BBC Micro has just had a bit of an overhaul and now resembles a Saturn 5.
Well, perhaps more a Soyuz...
