Glen Affric

[rhythmaning]

In July, I have booked three nights in the Glen Affric youth hostel, so I can climb some pretty inaccessible hills (inaccessible, that is, by Scottish standards). The three Munros north of the hostel.

I am not a fan of hostels - full of other people snoring, waking me up and so on. And there is no fridge.

Still, Glen Affric is a remarkably beautiful place; I have walked in a bit of it before. Yesterday,
I read an article in the FT about the beauty of Loch Affric, just to the east. (You can't read the full article unless you have online access to the FT; which I don't. I saw the print edition...)

It is a wonderful place.

I've never been to Glen Affric, but my dad is a huge fan and has been several times. It sounds terrific :)

(I'm not really a fan of hostels either. They were great fun when I was a kid, when we youth-hostelled extensively, but I couldn't stand it now, I don't think. I think my dad quite likes them, though I get the strong impression that my stepmother doesn't, so when they go abroad they stay in hotels/pensions/B&Bs)

And you went camping!

I dislike hostels, but they have their uses. Unfortunately, to get where I want to go, there isn't really much choice!
