Since I am at present unable to find any of the people who until this morning have posted on the LG blog , I am starting this thread to provide us with a gathering place to our liking. If this is successful and we do reunite here, the thread will be updated daily or as needed. Come & join me, folks, it's lonesome here.
Hamish MacInnes That is a name I have not seen in a long time. He was on Mount Everest in September 1975 when Scott and Haston conquered the south west face for the first time, in an expedition led by Chris Bonnington.

TIGER is there no end to your information.since 1978 i must have stayed near glen coe about 100 times. the village at the end of loch leven is calle KINLOCH LEVEN. i used go in the tailrace hotel to quench my thirst so to speak. in there i met a man called DENNIS BARCLAY. (i think thats how you spell it ) i spent many happy hours talking to him .. he was a member of the glen coe mountain rescue team. once i told him when i walked up the side of one the three sisters. of glen coe . i said i had walked on this certain path and it got a bit narrow. he gave me the mother of all telling offs. he said they had recovered two bodies from there in the previous five years.
Hi Sunshine, I spent a week on Mull recently, my second visit to the island, and drove up via Rannoch Moor and Glencoe, Corran Ferry and Lochaline/Fishnish ferry. I meet up with the friends I stay with on Mull in Glencoe at the little craft shop cafe there. They sell wonderful carrot cake. Best I have ever tasted :)

Who also wrote a splendid book, Hamish's Mountain Walk - the first non-stop climb of all the Munros in the 1970s. I know the house you mention Sunshine, but had no idea it is now owned by Sir Jim!

Thanks for that Sheila, no doubt I will be using it soon :)
Sunshine I will be going Glen Coe way, I have been there so many times and will look out for the house you are talking about. I still thought Jimmy Saville was living in Leeds, was it Roundhay Park but no doubt you will come back and say he never lived there as you know I do get things wrong :) Yes Sunshine that Tiger is like a walking encyclopedia probably better. I need to do more reading!
ChloeB I absolutely adore carrot cake, so might try to find that little craft shop.
