I have bagged 8 Munros so far and in all that time I didn’t really know some of the basics of hiking, so I spotted this day course on Facebook and thought it sounded very good.
I have to admit the boots I have are so good, my feet were not sore from start to finish so if your looking for good boots check out my shop

Intro to the Hill with Wild Venture Scotland
Want to head out to the hills, but not too sure where to start? What to take? Or how to stay safe on the hills then this event could be for you.
The day will include –
All whilst spending the day in Glencoe taking in two Munros ( Buachaille Etive Beag ) there will be lots of breaks and photo opportunities throughout the day.
I get to learn some of the basics and also take in 2 Munros taking me up to 10
Kirsty who was our leader today and also a qualified Mountain Leader, was great from the start of the day till the end of the day. We got told lots of great and useful information, and she was always making sure everyone was ok, comfortable in what they were doing, and making sure we were safe.
Today’s weather was a little hit and miss, there was a chance thunder could come over and end the day…the rain could have got heavier but we started and if it was going to be unsafe Kirsty would tell us to head back to our cars.
The weather was just ok, visibility wasn’t great but at least we weren’t getting soaked. This was a tough one as there were loads of steps going up, which was hard on everyone but we all got to the top of each and back down nice and safe.
Woohoo another two bagged and it was such a great day, granted the weather wasn’t great but it’s Scotland every day is different and you can’t always get great weather when hiking.

Everyone who came on the day out was very friendly, and also had a great time taking in either their first two Munros or bagging their 3rd and 4th

INVITED
21-04-2023
The guys at ABERDAM Dutch Fries invited me to check them out a while ago when they visited Glasgow. The event was near their Deliveroo base, and we got treated to some lovely food.
With all the success they have had since doing deliveries in Glasgow, people kept asking them where can they go and have a sit down mean rather than a takeaway, and tonight that has officially happened inside Sportsterz at Merchant City.

The first time I tried their food I couldn’t fault it, the flavours were perfect so tonight I was looking forward to trying some more dishes.
Salt & Pepper Chicken Dirty Dutch Fries £n/a tonight (normally £13.00)
A&O Chinese salt & pepper dusted dutch fries, salt & pepper chicken strips, grilled onions, sweet chilli sauce & spring onions.
My friend ordered these, and I am sure these were what I got the last time but I still tried a little.
This had a great aroma and looked mega tasty and my friend couldn’t wait to dig in…but always when your with a blogger pics first then the eating.
The chicken was perfectly cooked and had a lovely seasoning, I could have easily just had the chicken from this dish…but it was what my friend ordered so he wouldn’t like that and two I had my own dish to eat.
My friend commented that it was very tasty and he enjoyed it and the chilli gave a good kick.

Buffalo Blue Dirty Dutch Fries £n/a tonight (normally £12)
Salted Dutch fries, breaded chicken, Frank’s buffalo hot sauce, crumbled blue cheese, blue cheese sauce, and spring onions.
This was my dish tonight, I was very tempted to try their burgers but I thought I will do that on my next visit.
This one jumped out at me, and on arrival, the aroma was soooo good! the blue cheese hit me and I loved it.
Visually this looked really good, and I couldn’t wait to dig in.
I tried to get a bit of everything, and ohh wow this was good! the blue cheese hit me first, then a slight chicken flavour ending in a hit of the hot sauce.
The chicken was lovely and tender and every bite were really good….the hot sauce for me was a little overpowering and did take away some of the other flavours but overall this was very tasty.

Churros £n/a tonight (normally £6.00
with Nutella or salted caramel dip
You know me by now, and I always have to end the night with someone sweet and the churros sounded good to me.
You get a really good portion size, and they smelled really good.
I opted for the salted caramel dip.
I took a bit without the dip and mmm so so good! and now I tried it with the dip and WOW this was perfect for me…sweet, crispy, cinnamony and overall just YUM!
