a view of the village of Pennan this evening. Always liked Tom Weir's
presentation, perhaps not everyones cup of tea, but still one of
my favourite views of Scotland.
Seen many an Aurora in the sky as kid. Got to go back some time,
when time permits

Is there a Weir's Way box set yet ?

Seems from comments most folk liked his progs, this is more than can be said of Jimmy MacGregor a famous "hillman" in his lunch time. I recall after his West Highland Way he appeared in the Ubiqutous Chip and left very soon after due to many ribald comments as he made much use of a helicopter while making prog.
