| Our tents on a campsite in Drymen. In the background, you can see the forest leading to the region of Conic Hill and Loch Lomond. Or as hikers call it: hell. | Frank performing anti-stress yoga exercises in preparation for the rough climb of the Conic Hill. |

|
| On the road between Tyndrum and Bridge of Orchy. In the distance, you can see two sheep blocking our way. | Still on the road to Bridge Of Orchy. The two sheep quickly discovered they wouldn't want to mess with us and ran up the hill. Cowards. |

| Our beds at the Kinlochleven bunkhouse. |
