Inverness

I took the train to Inverness, as I was still not feeling great. It is very convenient and I can have a beer with my lunch.

The view from the train

Lunch was excellent, wood fired pizza, with local lamb and mint and a Black Isle Yellowhammer cask beer.

Definitely coming back here in the summer with the boys.

Jeremy, Kirsten and I went into Edinburgh for the evening, to eat at the excellent China Red and then on for a drink in the city.

Loch Tay

14 January 2018 / Walking / black and white, Kenmore, Loch Tay, Photos 2018, walking

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

5 September 2017 / Walking / black and white, Geocaching, iPhone photography, Scotland, walking

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

4 September 2017 / Walking / Lauder Camping and Caravan Club Site, Photos 2017, Scotland, walking

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.
