We set off bravely early in the morning from Tillicoultry.

We started climbing through the wooded glen.

Soon we left the trees far below us. This part of the climb was tricky.

Then we went higher still.

The summit was in sight at last.

On the top, there was a gale blowing.  But we had conquered the mountain!

We hid in a hollow out of the wind to have our lunch.

The descent was much more pleasant.

Soon we were back in the sheltered glen again.

Almost home and out of the wind.
