Jesper Berling's photograph. Click to his site.
Jesper is from Denmark, loves Glencoe and I particularly liked this shot for the unusual composition. Why does everything have to include intersecting thirds? Why can't you for once have the centre of atention smack in the middle and cut the picture in half as well? This is exactly how I see walks in the Glencoe mountains. I think it is a lovely shot.

Canoeing River Etive, by John W
Wonderful river for canoeing. 2-3 hours journey down it. The UK Guide for Kayakers calls it "Possibly the finest River in Scotland for Kayaking" These falls at the so-called Crack of Doom, are graded 4, pretty tough.

The most stunning view that everyone sees, going up the Glen. The Anoch Eagach ridge. Doable, just, this ridge, but heart stopping in places.
The Pap below.
The Clachaig Gully. This is the ideal route for Scottish climbers. No other climb can beat its advantage. The start is only 300 yards from getting out of the sleeping bag in the tent. Beat that, Ben Nevis, beat that The Cuillins.
