Climbing Ben Bhraggie, Scotland

Approach to Ben Bhraggie
Sandra and I should have checked a map for the hike up Ben Bhraggie, just north of Golspie, East Sutherland, Scotland. But it was a glorious day! Between us we have 130 years, but neither she, the local, nor I, the visitor, had made this walk, and we were eager! We could see for miles at each level. The forests were talk and cool. Our lunch on a log felt good for a bit of fuel to make the final climb.
And then the tough part started! We’d somehow gotten onto the mountain bike trail. Obviously their idea of a good trail (hills and dales) and ours are much different! But we made it to the top to survey the world–all the way to Tarbet Ness lighthouse glowing in sunlight, across Loch Fleet, and north past Brouda. Thanks to Margaret for driving us both ways — and for incredible patience!
