    First Thursdays are a good time to put faces to names old and new. Many a mountain adventure has begun in the pub some Thursday night. Andrew

    Inverarnan 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 ?

    Looking 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.
