Sunday saw the first hill of the training regime (if you can use the word 'regime' when you really have no plan at all as yet).
We decided to walk up Ben Ledi as it is within convenient driving distance from Edinburgh, doesn't require any real forward planning and has some great views from the top (added bonus being its proximity to ice-cream shops on the way back too!)
It was pretty cold and windy on the way up but was worth all the effort for the panorama across the Trossachs to the Lomond hills from the top.

Legs held up well for a first proper prolonged uphill walk in quite a while. So now very excited about planning a summer trip to the Alps and a few days walking the Tour Mont Blanc. A couple more practice walks in Scotland first... perhaps
