Last weekend I went to Scotland with the aim of finally walking Buachaille Etive Mor, this has been top of my "must do" list for ages. It was also a chance to meet Helen for the first time, Oi Nutter. Instead of writing a long boring route description, you can read Helens thoughts on the weekend and her thoughts on the future here.
