West Lomond

… on a ridiculously windy day …

… I decided to walk up West Lomond …
the highest spot in Fife

… from Craigmead car park it’s only 2.5 miles to the top …
I forgot I had to get back again

… and worth it for the views
of Largo Law and East Lomond …

… Ballo Reservoir, Glenrothes and the Forth …

… but my ears stung from the wind …
despite two hats

… my knees ached …

… and my heart pounded …

… possibly not the best time and place
to acknowledge just how very unfit I am …

… but I made it to the top …

… where it was almost impossible to stand …

… I just about managed to hold the camera
steady to snap the panoramic views …

… before making the slow descent back to the car …

… exhilarating …
