A wet morning in the cottage: Pippa and Alison with Finlay and Lewis.

In the afternoon it cleared up a bit and we went for a short walk in Glen Etive. This is Alison carrying Lewis in his portable tent.

Dinner in the cottage. I was suffering from a feverish cold, so no more climbing for me this week.

A fine day, and the others set off to climb Ben Starav. I was still feeling ill, and could only look at the mountain from across the valley.

I stopped off on the way home to see the Falkirk Wheel.

A narrow boat emerges from the bottom of the Wheel after being lowered 24 metres from the Union Canal to the Forth and Clyde Canal.
