SpectatorInverarnan pub (Stagger Inn) with the stuffed bear can be tolerable.
I am always banging on about how names in the landscape preserve ancient meanings. At Crianlarich the Rod and Reel has been known for decades as the Rotten Deal. Fortunately the Best Western Hotel is nearby though often full.
Then there’s the Tyndrum Inn which was alright last November.
I’ve eaten at Bridge of Orchy hotel too. And drank “Old Engine Oil” on draught.
And at Kinlochleven a gang of us stayed on the camp site last May which was OK. I remember eating at the Tail Race. Can’t recall whether we used a second establishment, maybe someone can ?

SpectatorLooking at the map for tomorrow, I recollect that a few of us went to this area one time for a laugh. On that occasion, we walked over South Haw, Little Haw and Great Haw. Haw Haw Haw. Almost seasonal really.

SpectatorLikewise I would be up for a stroll on 28th if I may please get a lift from York ?
BTW I toddled round the opposite side (Urra Moor etc) with a mate about 3 weeks back, and called into the Chop Gate pub afterwards. Strange decoration, but more importantly the worst pint of beer I can remember in a long while. After I sent the first pint back, the replacement wasn’t worth finishing.
There will be better to drink in coming days !
Seasons greetings

SpectatorSo at Harrogate last night a bit of GroupThink resulted in the idea that Angela Loch and myself will travel to Rock City in one car (which thus has 1 spare seat) and Steve will collect Steve from Poppleton Station and drive to Hull (thus having 2 spare seats.
We have booked at Rock City at 11.00 allowing for travel time ie dep York about 9.45The Wall offers bookings for 3-hour time slots so we expect to get chucked out at 14.00 or so. Might have to look for tea and scones on the way home.
Bookings to climb at Rock City have to be made at 15 minute intervals with — it would seem — 5 admissions every 15 mins. There is also a Membership Booking Form to complete before you arrive there.
I’m glad its not tomorrow. I’m too exhausted to climb after the booking process.

SpectatorI’m expecting to be there with Angela and the Steves
