Day at Glen Clova

Hello World,

Johannes has been kind enough to walk me through my own blog account. Thank you, my friend. Your help cheered me up.

On July 28th, Dominik, Johannes and I set out to conquer the two mountain tops Driesh and Mayar. After two hours of strenuous hiking up the Kilbo Path, we made it to the Driesh (947m). Stomachs grumbling and wind gusting, we ate lunch behind the shelter of a large boulder.

Upon finishing lunch, we walked on to the Mayar (928m) and down behind an enchanted valley called the Corrie Fee. Wow! Streaming waterfalls, undulating streams, purple heather, and a huge rainbow to top it off . . . it was like Lord of the Rings filmed here on location.

The six hour walk was hard on me, but the majestic view of the Corrie Fee was well worth the extra effort. Thanks, Dom, for suggesting such a great treking local!
