* long-distance walks are fun and I should do more of them;
* never leave for a day's hiking without your sandwiches;
* never go up Ben Nevis without a hat and gloves;
* that there are 850 golf courses in Scotland;
* it's well worth taking a week out of a busy year to be with people you don't often see;
* that there is no shame in wearing jazzed up running shoes for hiking - my columbias served me well this week and kept me blister free;
* that there is also no shame in walking poles for getting you up and down hills;
* never attempt to read the guide book while walking;
* that England will most likely never win the world cup in my lifetime;
* that 8 yr old kids can make it up Ben Nevis;
* that age is no barrier to doing something
