Plans went wrong!

We made a plan over a late breakfast to go walking for the day in a nearby forest, but we took the wrong turning and just kept going. It was sunny, we had the roof down on the car and the scenery was great. A check of the geocache map showed there were plenty ahead of us.

We stopped in Cannich for coffee and cake at the Bog Cotton Cafe and then onto geocaching and walking.

When we got back to the campsite having had a great day out in glorious weather with the roof down, we discovered the site was flooded in places. The heavy rain started at Dingwall at about 11am and went on and on for four hours!

So for a day that started by taking a wrong turning, it turned out alright for us.

Tollie Red Kites – Knock Farril

We got out walking today and so we did not waste the good weather we stayed local.

We decided to use geocaching to plan the route so the first stop was Tollie Red Kites – where we did see Red Kites and a weasel.

We also drove out to Knock Farril – a site of an ancient hill fort.

The weather was so good that we got the hood down on the MX-5.
