Mini Hobbits at Kinlochleven

The first 2 of 4 Minihobbits have now been sited at Blackwater Hostel in Kinlochleven.
These mini versions of their bigger brothers are perfect for single walkers or couples, and with being bang on the West Highland Way, were occupied within 2 hours of delivery. They are set to become a very popular addition to the microlodge range.

Quote...It will clear up by 10 in the morning.
Fact...Ryder cup goes to a Monday for the first time due to torrential rain.

With implicit faith in the BBC, I set off at the back of 7 in the morning with a view to tackle Ben Lomond.
This as it turns out was a leap of faith too far, and had my kit consisted not of sturdy boots and walking poles, but a snorkel and fins, I may have had a fair to good chance of doing the walk. Oh...bat-like radar would also have come in useful as I couldn't see a thing.
As it happens, discretion being the better part of valour, I turned tail after a thousand or so feet, soaked through, and went home to the pub.

Hey-Ho...It'll still be there next time.
