Walkies

Recently I've been a little grumpy which is probably attributable to being stuck in the city or at uni most of the time. I can usually fend off these feelings by regular trips up the Crags and Arthur's Seat, but there just hasn't been the time. Even climbing didn't help.

A friend from uni was feeling similarly annoyed with everything so we decided to take a day trip up the Pentlands. We had a great day! We started at the ski slope and quickly ascended to the closest peak, and then we tracked along the ridge all the way to a reservoir to Balerno. Only about 10 miles, but more walking than we had both done recently.

There are now plans to go up again, but this time track a different way and take in more peaks. We may also just disappear for a weekend to the west coast or the Caingorms to bag some Munroes. And all this makes me happy, even in the light of a stats exam.
