Although the fear of heights, I am pleased with the green nature

Well, there’s a certain amount of poetic license in the term “fell running”… On Beinn Alligin we did spend a lot of time clambering, scrambling and – dare I say it – walking! Basically just ambulating by whatever means seemed appropriate at the time. Scottish mountains are very good at puncturing an average fell runner’s conceit.

What I can’t get my head round is how you can “run” over a rocky great lump like Beinn Alligin without falling off.

I like the sound of Eg Nog. Apparently, Eag Dhubh translates as black hole or black gash,or something like that. You can bet your life that if ever it comes up in a future conversation, I’ll accidentally call it Eg Nog.
Cheers, Alen

The environment (whatever it is) becomes an integral part of the physical experience.

When walking, it’s nice to be able to stay dry, gaze at the views, sit down and eat butties, etc. You need good weather for that! ????

Fierce is a great word for mountains like these, they teach you respect. And it’s true, you do come down in a thoughtful mood after a day on the tops.

That is perfect. I’ll use that next time round.
