Interesting read. I agonised describing some encounters I had on the Isle of Sky in my book, especially one in a cafe that wasn't exactly a 5-star review. However, I probably don't have to worry as it's unlikely anyone I met will ever actually read it 🤪 and most people I met were overwhelming kind.

Looks beautiful. I'll be there next week! :))

Thanks for the tips, I'll see if can get my work finished in time to do some long hikes before I go. Maybe I'll plan that in next time :)

Thanks for the tips, I'll find some boulders or tree trunks on my next run :)

Similar thing happened to me last year. It was like no one had ever asked him before and all ended well.
