First stop in the Highlands of Scotland was Glenco. Jump here, jump there. !SPLASH! don't get wet. This is where they filmed the Highlander and Dad tells me that there is lots of climbing here.
Next stop was Loch Ness and a small village called Drumnadrochit. We had dinner here and Dad did some work on his computer as they had a free wireless connection. Then we went down to the shore. On the way we met a fisherman who told us the salmon were biting at the mouth of the river and the loch. We dug some worms out of a dung heap, called Nanno. We caught a couple of small ones but in the morning I caught.......
This.....it put up a bit of a fight. Then we took a photo and released it.
We went to the Loch Ness Visitor Center. It was closed. But we did see Nessie and went for breakfast.
Don't look now .......... I can't explain this. But I was honoured with a Nessie appearance. Click to make this photo larger.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz.........actually, this is just before I woke up at 5am. We are in the Achintee Farmhouse in Glen Nevis at the base of Ben Nevis which at 4,409 feet is the biggest mountain in the United Kingdom. Funny we used to live at 4,409 feet in Bishop, California. This day we got an early start, an alpine one, and starting at sea level climbed the 10-mile roundtrip to the top of Ben Nevis.
High up there was even snow.
The summit of Ben Nevis, 4,409ft. We were the second people up this day. A German man was first. Time 9:17am we seet off at 6am. It was cold, but we had good food.
Mama.....this is Tesco's finest chicken and basil pasta. Then we had to go down.
There are big 1,000ft cliffs on the North Face. Dad climbed one called Tower Ridge last year with his friend Greg.
This is Tower Ridge.
Attack of the sheep
On the way down we passed a million other people and said, "good morning," a million times and that yes the bar was open and no they didn't have far to go. As we got back down to the valley...sorry Glen......a lamb attacked me.

DrHi Xavy!
Hey that picture of you with Nessy ought to be a post card! I can't tell if you're scared or in cohoots with her - you have the same smile!
The bed at the INN looks comfy - bet you wanted to draw that night's sleep out.
OOooooo looks cold with that snow. Was that a hot meal you chow down at the summit?
Spud would like to get a hold of one of those frisky sheep. He could use some excitement! Thinking about it - so could I. I'll see what I can dig up this weekend. Bummed I came down with a cold/sore throat.
Love Mama
