So I went hillwalking at the weekend. Set out early and walked up Ben Lomond. Ben Lomond is the most southerly Munro and, at 3195ft towers over Loch Lomond We and it seemed like lots of people were all kitted out in walking gear and jumpers etc. All of us battling against the elements……it took…

Glasgow Angling Centre (again)
