I've been inspired by two YouTubers' videos to get into the hills and see some of the spectacular scenery that Arran has to offer. It's right outside my front door and it's crazy for me not to have seen much of it.
I've had my eye on the Caisteal Abhail loop since I drove past it after the archery day we had a couple of weeks ago and I persuaded my daughter to come with me. The scenery once you get to the returning point of the loop is astounding. I'd never been quite that close to Witches Step.
We had a great walk, cut short by my daughter's new boots rubbing her heels. We didn't talk about anything important; only small topics like God, spirituality and Israel and Palestine, you know, light topics for a hike.
I'm hoping to get back to this location quite soon and complete the walk, and many others too. I've ordered a tent and sleeping mats for us both and am excited to get into the hills and make more content. It's interesting that it's content creation and creators that have inspired me to get into the hills rather than the other way round, but no matter - as long as I'm getting out there!
