Buses and beetles

It's a long time since I used any Citylink buses, but it was almost comforting yesterday to discover that a couple of things hadn't changed:

• The driver thinks he's doing you a special favour to be giving out any change, and never has enough. Citylink owe me a pound.
  

• They make any journey into the Highlands seem impressive by doing it nice and slowly. We stopped at Stirling for a 10 minute break (to change horses, perhaps?)

My journey was to Lochearnhead, there to ascend Ben Vorlich. The animal for the day was the beetle. Perhaps the hot humid weather brings them out?

On the way down, the falls at Edinample are very impressive, although the grounds of Edinample Castle prevent you seeing much. There's currently a bridge being rebuilt here too. This means there is no parking and no access to the next glen, from whence the Munros book recommends that you start. Oh, the little loves! Having to read the map and work things out for a change.
