Mizmazzle’s Trip Across the Pond

[endo]

Great you're doing better @Mizmazzle. The fotos are wonderful, esp the last one. Enjoy nature's beauty and the tastes of the scottish whiskys.

Just to echo what everyone else has said. So happy to see you up and moving,and smiling again. Have a great hike today and keep the pictures coming.

@Mizmazzle Great to hear. Sounds like the Ben Nevis is within reach again .

[seawolf]

@Aetas So good!

[seawolf]

@Aetas Oh, you were talking about the mountain, eh? I was talking about the whisky

[Aetas]

@seawolf
Love a bit of ambiguity …knowing Miz has not planned an ascent .

[goosehd]

How’s the back? Any hiking today?

[Mizmazzle]

@goosehd back is feeling strong! I did the last two legs of the hike and still feeling great. We landed in Edinburgh yesterday and finally have a slow easy day planned so time to update the travel thread!!

[Mizmazzle]

Hey folks!! I’ve recovered surprisingly quickly for how intensely my back had laid me up. It might have been pushing it to risk jumping in on the hike with Morgan and the Brits…but I decided to roll the dice and so glad I did. I kept the ibuprofen and stretches in place, lightened the load in my pack and hit the trail. Had to do it. Who knows if or when I’ll be back to this part of the world!!

Kingshouse to Kinlochleven (bonus it was a sunny day)

Beers at the end of a 9 mile day.

Kinlochleven to Ft. William was the big day. 15 miles on the trail and it was a wet one. I loved the sunny day prior, but now I felt like we were actually in Scotland!!

Morgan and Becca thought they saw a single midge flying about and didn’t want to risk it…

We made it to the end!!

Ben Nevis Distillery in Ft. William. I really enjoyed the tour and the tasting.

That’s Ben Nevis in the background

Saying goodbye to the Brits was really hard. Love those guys so much.

Bussing from Ft. William to Edinburgh

Hurried bit of advice. Found a killer Scottish wool/ cashmere cardigan made in Scotland by Mc George as my final souvenir to complete my scavenger hunt.
Navy or Camel color??? Can’t decide
Have to go make the final choice this afternoon.
