ta czarna plama to loch earn

the big black thing is actually loch earn

po drodze bylo troszke zamarznietego sniegu, wlasnie wtedy najbardziej przydawaly sie kijki (ale bea twarda jest) :)

on the way up there were some places with frozen snow, that's when we really needed the poles

znow loch earn, w oddali szczyty / again -loch earn, far far away munros:

meall nan tarmachan, meall corranaich, beinn ghlas, ben lawers, an stuc, meall garbh

ben vorlich szczyt / the summit

oczywiscie bea wbiegla jak mloda lania a ja sie wczolgalam jak polzdechly slimak

w sumie planowalysmy isc takze na kolejnego munro-sa: stuc a chroin, ale powiem szczerze, zupelnie mi sie juz nie chcialo i chyba czasu by juz tez nie wystarczylo

to be honest, we also planned to go to stuc a chroin, but... honestly, after getting my bum to ben vorlich i just couldn't be bothered to spend next 2 hours getting my bum to another munro!

szczyt / the summit: ben vorlich

stuc a chroin

czas cos przekasic! nie to nie czipsy to bezglutenowe ciasteczka kukurydziane :(

time for a snack! no, these are not crisps, these are gluten-free corn cakes :(

mloda lania sprawdza mape w nadziei, ze uda jej sie mnie przekonac zeby jednak isc na stuc a chroin... (nie ma mowy kochanienka!)

bea's checking the map in order to convince me to move my bam to stuc a chroin... (no way sweetheart!)

schodzac do doliny / going back

widok na polnocny zachod / looking towards north west

ostatnie wylegiwanie sie w sloncu na trawie

last moments enjoing the sunshine and warm grass

LOCH LUBNAIG

niedzielny poranek nad loch lubnaig. kilka mil za callander zaskoczyl nas niesamowity widok. odbicia wzgorz w niezmaconym lustrze wody zapierajace dech w piersiach (i przyspieszajace czynnosc wyciagania aparatu z plecaka!). tego widoku nie pobila nawet panorama highlandow ze szczytu ben vorlich, do ktorego dojechalysmy kilka chwil pozniej.

a oto glowni sprawcy calego zamieszania.

.

sunday morning at loch lubnaig. few miles past callander we were astonished by this marvellous view - hills' reflection in still water. that actually made my heart beat really fast (!) and my hands to grab the camera even faster!

it was even better than the panoramic of highlands seen from the summit of ben vorlich (we saw it couple of moments (hours) later.

so.... meet the troublemakers... i mean -explorers :)
