It seems that I might go hiking in Glencoe, Scotland, this weekend. Glencoe is very famous and is one of the most beautiful place in Europe. With Dave E.’s Canon 5D II and my Nikon D200, I think we potentially have the best cameras out there to take the nicest photos in one single trip. I hope they know where they are heading for because I want the nicest views. Even if we did not plan it intentionally, this trip is a direct competition to the Hiking Club’s official events. I really do not care much because I was tired of the Hiking Club’s trips. They end up going to the same places around Manchester: Peak District, Lake District and Yorkshire. In fact, Dave E and Myself are the ones who took the nicest pictures because of our fancy cameras and our love for pretty sceneries. So they have lost two photographers. In reading the emails and the posts they made through the forum, I smiled a little bit in discovering their perception of my personality. I do not hide much about myself these days, many people get annoyed by me but I do not leave them indifferent.
email from Dave M. : "Pierre has no winter experience whatsoever although is very fit and has a head for heights/likes scrambling (can be a bit too reckless/wanting to press ahead in my opinion). He can take very nice photojournalism style photos of us, and random people we meet, though! So basically Pierre and Dave E would certainly not be fit walking on their own on these hills and would be looking to me for leadership (who may not be entirely fit to be doing it either!). (Well Dave E would, I’m not sure Pierre would even realize his limitations!). If you want suggest Aonoch Eagach to Pierre and I’m sure he’d attempt it with you . . .!!! "
