Ben Hope

Dave and I made an expedition up Ben Hope. - A bit of an Everest equivalent for us fat and unfit beer junkies.

When we got to the top, the rain rushed in and it got cold. The views across the north of Scotland were almost obliterated. But we could see our favourite Loch Hope and our wee house from up there and it was fantastic to be on top of the world and on top of Sutherland.

The cool waters of the waterfall back at the bottom provided the best foot spa in the world.

(another evening on Loch Hope - I had another sea trout and Dave lost a salmon)
