Walk With Wallace 👣 Never heard of the route until you done it if I’m honest. I was planning a couple days backpacking trip around the Pentlands in October, but I’d probably make my own route probably starting at Flotterstone. Yes it was around 11pm when it got windy for me. I was beginning to regret the summit camp on Capelaw at that point but thankfully the weather calmed down. At the moment I’m thinking of doing a Munro summit camp and I’m hoping to walk Ben Lui with a mate from work this Friday (weather depending).
