Playing two games a week and adding new players every few days (it feels like it), there's not many training sessions really and therefore it's difficult to get any sort of tactical identity or cohesion. The international break will be good for us. Recharge the batteries, some proper training sessions now for Glass to work on things, and a chance for the new guys to properly settle. Tough run of fixtures now (Motherwell A, St Johnstone H, St Mirren A) - 7-9 points is doable though. Would like to see one more in before the window shuts (have heard whispers we might beat Hibs to Jamie McCart) but I'm pretty easy with the squad we have until January.

First time up Ben Nevis yesterday. Glorious weather, if anything it was too hot as it was hard work. I’ve run 2 marathons, couple of dozen half marathons and 7 other Munro’s but that was easily the toughest thing I’ve ever done. I was expecting it to be a slog but hadn’t realised how difficult under foot it is, it’s almost non-stop stones and boulders all the way - it was very tough, but the views were spectacular. It was like Piccadilly Circus at the top! A good 200-300 folk up there and easily more than 1000 on the path yesterday.

International break came at the right time. 2 weeks with all the new players and give the rest a well need break to recoup. Expecting better in final third with more urgency shown for Motherwell game (please!!! ?)

Way back in the 1988, me and a mate walked along the bottom of the North face of Ben Nevis. We heard a helicopter flying around and out the clouds came a big yellow Sea King helicopter. It landed near us and all of a sudden a mountain rescue guy and two other guys, one with a tv camera and the other with a sound boom ran up to me and my mate. The mountain rescue asked us If we had seen two guys in some problems around the North Tower. We had not. The three guys ran back to the helicopter and flew off. We only found out later that It was for a documentary series called Rescue. It was a bit of a surreal moment... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rescue_(British_TV_series)

Nice pics.Aye, I wasn't bothered about doing Ben Nevis but when I got round to it,was surprised how good the views were. Was up Glencoe yesterday,as you say,way too warm ,little wind. Pics later ?
