Langabhat track - 11/05/05

Another hour at the library putting pictures on the net preceded my 12.30 departure for Aline. From there, I was planning to go up the trail towards Langabhat. Met Sally on the bus, again. Got a crick in my neck from turning it round 120° to look at her whilst chatting about various walks we had done. Also encountered one of her friends, whose wife, at 38, required a hip replacements. As she is suffering from a form of arthritis, she’s liable to need another one in 10 year’s time. Only 2 hip replacements are allowed, so from age 60, she’ll be wheelchair bound. Alighted at Aline and proceeded up the track, admiring the views back along Loch Seaforth. Went about ¾ of the way to Langabhat, and looked out on Creag na Clibhe, Stuabhal, Rapaire and the Morsgail Hills. Could just discern Loch Coire na Geurad, a large sidekick of Loch Langabhat. There is a shed on the shinglebank which separate the two lochs. It’s fairly sunny today. Retraced my steps to the main road and took the Hebridean Transport coach back to Stornoway. Once more chatted to Sally on the way back.
