Hello and welcome to my bagging blog. In 2003, I walked up a Munro for the 2nd time and bled from my eyes. From the majestic pinnacles of An Teallach to the classic pyramidal Buachaille Etive Mor in Glencoe, follow me round Scotland as I share my experiences.

Ben Lomond Hill Race 2008 - Training commences
With some trepidation, I have decided to register for the Ben Lomond Hill Race - this takes in a 9-mile route and ascent of 3162 ft. I have always wanted to have a go at a Kate Bush-style race and will need to seriously get in training for this. One must reach the halfway point by 45 minutes otherwise they turn you back - that will not be happening, I can assure you. So, I'm off out this weekend to get my basic hill-speed up - whether I walk and pelt it down remains to be seen and as usual weather pending. It's on the 10th May so I have a full 2 months - booze will be limited, football is cancelled and plenty of stretching at karate should see me all svelte and ready. However, I have no intention of pursuing the other Munro's with the same gusto and will be happy to plod up and enjoy the views. Wish me luck.
