Reflections at the end of a shortened trip to Glencoe

Just got back from another break in Glencoe. Back 2 days earlier than planned, had good time, but obviously wouldn't be back early if it was a roaring success and I couldn't bear to tear myself away. But learnt some important things, such as:

• I've done as much as I want to in Glencoe, I should have gone somewhere else
• Don't plan on camping in Scotland, unless weather is perfect (and it never is), camping at the end of a day's walking isn't relaxing enough. And if you end up buying a meal in a restaurant, it's overall no cheaper than staying in a hostel
• I'm pretty comfortable staying in a dorm room
• Make sure you have a good set of plans re what walks you're going to do. Winging it means that it's easy to dive into a demotivated spin
• Unless weather is consistently good, 4 days walking in one stint is probably enough - either keep the break short, or plan a break day
• Walking with other people gives you confidence - need to try and find some more walking buddies

And most importantly

• Stop concentrating on "ticking off" Munros, and instead concentrate on doing good walks!
