The call went out a couple of weeks ago that I had a free weekend and Steg duly answered and arranged the time off to join me for a walk neither of us had done before. I shut down the laptop on a Friday afternoon after a really constructive meeting with the team and left the house in a good mood, even having to don my sunglasses as the dipping sun was threating to blind me as I headed west towards Paisley to pick up Steg. He jumped in and we loaded any extra kit, and then we were on our way, headed up Lomondside like we'd done many times before, catching up and sharing stories. We stopped at the Real Food Cafe at Tyndrum for a sit-in meal and then headed up through Glencoe, Fort William and then Invergarry on the long drive. The road was dry and the night was clear so the drive felt good. We parked up at the Cluanie and headed straight for the bar, looking forward to a beer after the long drive. The bar was shut! They shut at 2130 in Winter, so it was a wee wander back to the van
