The Sunday of our Glencoe break was absolutely glorious. Uncle Fester and The Prof elected to stay in the house to watch the golf. I know; they often seem like quite rational types, but clearly some kind of mental instability is suspected.
The rest of the party decided to head for the Pap of Glencoe. Since breathing, and moving, more both proving a bit painful for me, I thought I would just settle for a bit of a wander. Initially I followed on up the path heading for the Pap, but with no intention of going all the way up. The views were tremendous.
After a couple of small, innocuous looking rocky steps, which, since I couldn’t really bend down, I thought I might struggle to descend (I was right), I chose to slowly amble back down.
And then to do a slow circuit of the small lochan above Glencoe.
It was genuinely warm and I made good use of the many benches stationed around along the path.
The were quite a few dragonflies about and I quixotically tried to photograph them using my phone, with no success whatsoever.
I finished with a little wander by the loch.
And was back in time to see the end of the Ryder Cup. Oh no! Could it be that I have a smidge of ‘mental instability’ too?
Beating The Bounds 
A slow wander was the perfect choice. Beautiful images.
It was all I could manage that day, in the event my little stroll extended to six miles, so not bad going in the end.
Wonderful. Who would want to miss that and stare at a telly!
Stunning mirror finish on those photos across the lochan
Right place, right time. Hard to beat a good reflection photo.
I thought we got the best of the views from the top of the Pap but those photos from the Lochan with the light and the reflections are magnificent. Ones for a wall print and frame I reckon. I’m still mentally de-stabilised by a decision to stay in and watch TV on day like that!
The views from the Pap were obviously stunning, but in the right kind of light, just being out (and not watching the telly) is worth it, wherever you go.
I think you must have been around the Lochans at the same time we were on the top in the most glorious spell of sunshine for the day and the weekend for that matter
