    Great sequence of photos FG - when they finally loaded that is.  I guess there are tourists and tourists.

    Yes, lovely, thanks Fairy!  I had to peer a bit before I could pick out the "bookends"...   ;)
    You had a great day for weather.  Glad you found some helpful tourists to get you home!
    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

    Thanks Obelixx. I resized to around 1 - 1.5 MB , so I would have reckoned they would load reasonably quickly. I have to make them smaller for the walking site, so perhaps I'll use those sizes in future to prevent them being too slow   :)
    I couldn't thank that couple enough. He 'bumped' it [ I had to give him a push with my good arm] and fortunately I was on a hill, but it's not an ideal road to do it on! They were thoroughly enjoying their visit to Scotland - the weather has been tremendous for them - and for our tourism industry!
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

    Thanks Fairy, a few of those hills in my past.
    How can you lie there and think of England

    Those mini jump start packs are dropping in price quite a lot now. Might be worth a look if you're out in remote places a lot.  https://www.amazon.co.uk/AA-Portable-Jump-Starter-power/dp/B01MR884VZ/ref=sr_1_25?ie=UTF8&qid=1527717538&sr=8-25&keywords=battery+jump+start+pack

    I just ordered a new camera today after my sticky shutter button problem got worse. I have new toy excitement  :o
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    IMHO German tourists are invariably lovely.

    Enjoy your new toy wild edges  ;)
    The problem is that you can often be in places where there are hardly any other passing cars. G. Etive is fairly well used, so it was less of a problem. Having one of those doofers with it's own battery might be very useful though - especially if I leave my brain at home instead of my water!
    doc - I was just thinking on the summit, with it's tremendous 360 degree views, that there's not many  Munros visible from there  that I haven't done yet. Only the Starav 'three'. Some fabulous days to remember   :)
    scroggin - it was a superb day. The dragonflies were all out, and the little pipits were flitting around, although everything was too quick for me to get a pic. Cuckoos were calling in the woodland on the lower slopes of  neighbouring Beinn Chaorach. I startled a little hare on the way back down as well. The best sound though - was the sound of silence  :)

  • The Museum of the Moon recently visited Liverpool Cathedral. It is a 7 metre illuminated balloon printed with lunar features.
    It is visiting other places in the UK and elsewhere - details in the link:
