Finally...
So Easter was the time to go to the Ben Nevis because we just had to!
Some people actually climb this way but you need tobe prepared.

And two video clips from his first record:
They played a lot of new songs in Glasgow, there is probably a new record on his way.
And I think I will check in case he goes to Paris soon...
A long way to go for those two...
When we arrive on the top of the hill from the picture above, we went a bit down.
For what John called the picture moment and finally up again to reach the summit.
And we went down towards Brodick. On the way back, I asked John: "How many miles we walked today ?", he looked at his map... "Something like 16 miles. That was a good walk!", "Yeah, let's go for a pint", "Aye"...
Trip Hop, music from the 90s and from Bristol. Tricky was part of Massive Attack at their beginning. His real first name is Adrian, obviously a nice guy... He had a not easy childhood. His father left when he was born and his mother commited suicide when he was four. He named his first solo album after his mother "Maxinquaye" for Maxine Quaye. I listened a lot of trip hop at the beginning of the 90s, with Massive Attack and Portishead, the two icons from Bristol. I didn't really followed carefully Tricky's records but as he was coming to town, I was curious. It was really good. Songs often start slowly, then get louder or faster or both to finally explode with Tricky becoming a bit crazy sometimes.

And I headed to Howmore to sleep in a hostel, in the middle of nowhere...

And I ended up watching the sunset on the beach.
