Loch Tay
It has been very windy today – enough to put waves on the loch.
I did get out and walk but because of the weather my plan to try out my new pocket stove did not happen.

More from The Birks of Aberfeldy
Robert Burns wrote a poem about The Birks of Aberfeldy – there is this statue along the river, commemorating it.
This leaf was embedded in fractured ice.

I was early for the check-in at the Kenmore Club, so I took the opportunity to go for a walk.
This was shot on my iPhone 8, carefully supported on a bridge hand rail, using the 645 Pro camera app set at 1/8 of a second.

More photos from North Berwick
The rain did slow to a drizzle after breakfast, so I set out to walk some of the beaches, coast and areas around North Berwick. Of course I picked up several geocaches and photos along the way.

Walking – Lauder
Having been on the phone early for work and the weather looking wet and grey, I decided to walk the local paths around Lauder.
Eventually the rain sent me back for coffee and then back to the campsite.

Dingwall Campsite
We had been camped here for eight nights – so we left our marks! A couple of days of sun and rain should fix it.
The MX-5 is not big enough for two to go camping, so we need some extra luggage room. The boot bag fits securely and adds 50l of extra space.

John o’ Groats and Wick
We headed north today – all the way north.

We walked out along the coast, leaving the tourist area behind. There were even two caches along our route – the most northerly mainland caches.

We stopped here mainly to eat, but we also visited the “shortest street”
Ebenezer Place was built in 1883 and measures only 6 ft 9 in (2.06 m) long. It has only one address: No 1.
It was also the location of our last geocache of this holiday.
