CAMRA

Well it's official. I drink real beer. I'm now a fully signed up
member of CAMRA. A membership card, handbook and a whole host of beer
tokens for my efforts. Looking forward to using them in a pub near
you? The beers are on me, well maybe...

A morning moon

The sun is up and the moon is still high in the sky and as big and
bright as it was last except this morning I'm back in Lanarkshire.

A Ayrshire Moon

A Ayrshire moon, it's bright a huge tonight but not that the iPhone
camera can do it justice.

Having a tightner

Having a beer at Stair Inn before dinner. Don't be fooled by the
glass. It's not a Houston ale from Paisley but an Amber Ale from
Strathaven, in the middle of Ayrshire. Bizarre but it worked for me.
Cracking pint, so much so I had a couple.

Magic Mushrooms

I always wonder especially at this time of year, what mushrooms are
edible. I see loads. A free bounty of food but I don't know if they're
edible or not? Seems such a waste to walk by them if the are.

Do people just know by looking at them or is it a skill learned? I
wouldn't want to learn the hard way!

Don't look back in anger? Or my 1st munro

BUCHAILLE_ETIVE_MOR

BE WARNED THIS IS EPIC!

Not epic in the sense of Beowulf or Lord of the Rings but just EPIC in size. It's probably the longest post I've ever written and the longest thing I've written since I was pupil in higher english. I will also warn of some choice language. If you don't like sweery words don't read on.

I'm in the mood for reminiscing, don't know why. It's not normally like me. Not normally like me to do it here. It may be that I have been regaling this tale at some point to the poor @PhilOutdoors. I say may because the last time I was in Phil's presence a pretty few beers had been drank in the land of my fathers', the 'shire of my birth and the county of my youth.

I'm unsure as to what was talked about on that last meeting it was getting a little fuzzy towards the end (A recurring theme). However it probably doesn't really matter other than it's at the front of my head rather than locked away in the dark spaces of my brain.

The story and the reason for this post, it's probably nothing of interest to anyone but myself, to put it down for prosperity. It's the tale of my first munro, my first hill of the highlands. My first.

The photograph is a give away to those that know. The mighty majestic guardian of Glencoe. Buachaille Etive Mor, 'THE' Buachaille and on that day my nemesis. Goliath versus David. Not so much for it's awe inspiring massiveness. It is massive, lets not kid ourselves, it's a hulk of hill. Or the fact that it is a big climb, 3353ft if I remember correctly. It was more to do with the condition I was in.

As the leaves lie thick & no so even

It's that time of year again and the leaves are starting to lie thick
an uneven. It's my favourite time of the year. Just before it turns. I
love the colours and the crispness in the air.

Trying the new Posterous app for the iPhone not sure about. Just seems like an email app straight in to Posterous. Time will tell.

Days Out - Ayrshire Beer Festival

Ayrshire Beer Festival

I had high hopes for this, not the festival itself but the post. I was going to grab hundreds of photographs, maybe even some audioboos but I failed for a couple of reasons. I forgot to charge up the iPhone, major mistake no way it was going to last a full day grabbing photographs and taking notes. The other reason the company and the beers were too good and I was talking too much. Brilliant beer festival. Well next year then.

One thing I'll give you, best beer for me by a long way was Rambler's Ruin from Breconshire. Great beer. If you can get some, get a few.

Time to study?

Don't ever remember having time to study in the mornings before school
but then I walked to school.

Here we go again...

The trek into work again but I'm changing it up today and getting the
train in to Glasgow. Two reasons, one I had to go to the bank and the
station is closer, two I can stand the buses wagon train route. The
buses are probably quicker.

Journey's end

Journey's end that's me at my desk. 90 minutes after I left the house.
A trip that normally takes less than 30 minutes. Ah well it's only for
a couple of days.
