Forest Walking Inverdruie
Looking at the weather forecast for the week today looks like to coldest day I will have – it was 1c when I went out at about 11am. It does not look like I will see any snow this trip – except this in Colchester last week.
I headed out to walk in the forest near Inverdruie and to get a geocache that the boys and I walked past last summer.
Here it is
It was easy today to find somewhere quiet to set up for lunch.
I wrote this whilst watching the Falcons playing Green Bay in the NFC Championship game – the Falcons and Matt Ryan have controlled the first half. I have my iPod hooked into the TV with the Apple HDMI adaptor, I also packed a 1m HDMI cable. Glad I am not at last week’s Hapimag Bowness timeshare as the wifi there was nearly nonexistent. I could not use my NFL Game Pass live there, I had to avoid the scores and downloaded the games offsite on better wifi. The wifi here at Scandinavian Village is great.
Here comes the second half.

Lunch – Edinburgh
I stopped off on the way to Aviemore to buy Jeremy lunch. The pub we like, The Footlights, has had yet another make over!
Grassmere Lake – Walking and Geocaching
For my last day in the Lakes I parked up near Grassmere and walked on the other side of Grassmere Lake to where I was on Monday. Although most of the day was overcast there were some splashes of sun and even a short sunset, but that was when I was in the car heading back.

I also saw a very well kept “VR” post box along my walk.

Woodland Walking
It was a dark and grey day today so I went walking locally using geocaches as my guide. Score for the day was five and it took me on an interesting walk around Bowness.
The Sherriff’s Walk
It was named after G. H. Pattinson who originally presented this land to the public, he was a former ‘High Sherriff of Cumbria’.
