Latest trip was over to the Cuillin,Skye to do an undone munro,..Am Basteir.Failed in my quest to get to the summit because of a 3m blind down climb(but it didnt stop my walk partner ). In the process though,we followed an unplanned circuit well worth a wander for non regular hill baggers,which gets you high up and into the heart of the Cuillin without any over taxing climbing.Parked slightly beyond the Sligachan hotel on the A863 where a path starts off on the lhs of the road and follows the Allt Dearg Beag on its rhs all the way up to the Basteir gorge,seen at the top of the stream to the left of the path Once into the gorge,you can see the route all the way ahead mid photo to Am Basteir,the lump of rock.But the aim is to simply head for the lowpoint to its left,where youll get a cracking view of the Southern Cuillin and out to Rum etc.From there you head back down a bit,under the lump of rock,and over to the rhs to Sgurr a Basteir Heading underneath the lump of Am Basteir and over to the start of the ridge of Sgurr A Basteir on the right And follow the ridge along to the easier summit of Sgurr A Basteir,which leads steeply,but not overly difficultly back to the Allt Dearg Beag,and a pint and meal back at the Sligachan hotel.We bivvied up near Bealach Basteir overnight,but would allow 7/8 hrs.Superb views

Wright and Main off,Gallacher or McGinn, and Wilson on hopefully

Thankfully missed most of the first half.Found a stream for the second http://www.hesgoal.com/news/51209/St_Mirren_vs_Aberdeen.html

Weird lineup.Cosgrove injured but no start for Wilson,Logan dropped , so line up as follows Lewis Vyner McKenna Considine Leigh Ojo Ferguson Wright Hedges MacLennan Main Subs Cerny.Logan Devlin,Campbell,McGinn,Wilson

It was a typical unnecessarily cautious game from Mcinnes,but if I must give some leeway its the fact that weve a 50% new squad.I'll save my anger til after next week,but if he hasnt noticed already that we seem to suit a more attacking style of play,then he's being negligent. Enough of the timidity,early goal next week,and hud g'an.

Got what we deserved,a limp effort.Were better than that

Were so timid were giving them confidence. Step it up in the second half Dons...

Team news - Lewis Logan McKenna Considine Leigh Ferguson Ojo Hedges Gallacher McGinn Cosgrove Subs - Cerny,Devlin,Wilson,Main,Wright,Campbell,Vyner Looking forward to it. COYR

Much as I like McKenna,If forest have bid £7m,I would bite your hand off.timing couldnt be worse like,but...

Dont agree with your perma-rage against McInnes,though I thought the end of last season would have been a good point for both parties to part company amicably.Saying that,now that he's chosen to stay,I am quite curious to see how these signings work.....for now Where i do agree,is that our style of football could be having an adverse affect on some players confidence,or enthusiasm.If the eye watering football weve endured at times is off putting for us,then it must be the same to have to play that way youd think.I dont want to win a game,and probably the players, by stopping another team from winning. I'm sure players respond more to playing 'edgier' football. I wish he'd evolve a bit more as a manager,test his caution now and again.Not healthy to have such a fixed vision of how to play football.Pity,as he attracts a good standard of player,in a sound environment

Some cracking weegie banter on that stream

We often look more likely to concede( and sometimes do) when we game manage.Wish we'd get on the front foot more often

Nice one Sam.Important goal

Pen

Diving tw@t

You just know he'll rediscover that spark he had when he came on v Killie? or was it Dundee? . Gutted it didnt work out. Interested to know why this was the only post fae the boy that started the topic

Tempered by having the most preliminary rounds(Im guessing)

Nae probs. Next

Home of the Foundry Bar Reds,inc the shaved ape....just to warn you Must admit though,there should be a good atmosphere.Drove past it on my home during an earl k/o Euro tie last year,and we'd just scored a goal. A fine rendition of Stand Free ringing down Holburn St as I went past

I'd hope we didnt spend 10k per week on one player,but if we do have that money to play with,I'd rather we spent it in a different way,eg 5 upcoming talents @£2k per week,in the hope at least one goes on to greater things

Its in the Retard so.... https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/funso-ojo-aberdeen-dons-look-18090181?utm_source=sharebar&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=sharebar

Casual fae Logan there,twit that he is. Still confident of us finishing the job over there.

McKenna and Logan have been good.Like the look of Gallacher,pacy.Good to see Devlin stroll the game Crowd 14'300
