1. "You look like a golfer!

Of course, you should not let others' comments upset you. Quite honestly; this one comes hard! The flight attendant, otherwise very friendly and professional as always , asks just before landing if she can ask me something. But of course!
'Are you going to play golf in Scotland?
You look like a typical Golfer!'

I type this a day later after breakfast over a delicious cup of coffee.
At the hotel where the crew also always stays.
Fortunately, they have already returned to Amsterdam on the early flight.

I could not have faced the confrontation even though I am now in my hiking outfit.

2. Ironwork

Shortly after the above, an employee of this hotel comes to clear the table. I clearly see that she has some new piercings on her face and tell about someone very dear to me.

Who I talk to a few times a year where she asks me "and", "what do you see!?". Lots of piercings, lots of tattoos but whether there are any new ones? I tell her that I do see that some have been added since last October and we say goodbye while she proudly promises that next time there will be some more.

We are curious!

3. Schedule so you can deviate from it!

The image shows the planned order of the Munros. In the reports of the next few days you will see the order actually run.

I always have this booklet in my map folder so I immediately know the names of the Munros I will be hiking this adventure. Especially handy when I run into locals who know every blade of grass in this area.

At the end of the week, the schedule always turns out, thankfully, to have turned out slightly different.

'Good planning is the starting point of a wonderful adventure that runs differently.'
