Queensberry

The particular challenges of Scottish hill walking shouldn’t be underestimated as there are vast areas of wilderness without any tracks or footpaths making the going underfoot very tough.  Yesterday’s circuit up “Wee Queensberry” and her bigger sister “Queensberry” was no exception.  Although the route began on a rocky track, it soon became a yomp over boggy, tussocky ground with hidden, ankle breaking hollows.  The ferocious wind added to the physical demands of the walk so by the time we stopped for lunch just below Queensbury herself,, we were definitely ready for a breather.  But it was still a great outing!
