Hello, it’s been a while since I’ve posted here, mainly because I’ve done no walking since 2021. After I did my last 2 hills in Glencoe I stopped for a break and intended to contimue in 2022, fate & bad luck had other plans though. In January 2022 I got the dreaded Covid and it really hit me quite hard. After I tested negative my health went downhill, my lungs were struggling and I couldn’t do very much at all, never mind going uphill! This stayed with me for quite a while and in the end I had to start using an inhaler, however, I also managed to get pneumonia in my left lung and that meant even more recovery time. 2022, as far as hill walking was concerned was over before it began. I started to make plans to get back to the hills in 2023 and was looking forward to easing into it with small hills before going back to Munro’s, but, January struck again and I fell down a couple of stairs at home and broke my right ankle, this wiped out 2023 as well, by the time I finished healing and physio, the year was over. Now it’s June 2024 & after a poor start to the year I’ve recently started doing some walks on the Lomonds, I’m hoping to get fit enough to do some Munro’s this year, but I’m taking it slowly and aiming for August to do the ‘Wee Bookle’ for numbers 12 & 13. Wish me luck Cheers Second visit to East Lomond June 2024
