Tales of walking, running and mood dependent, maybe other random stuff!
I hope you’ve all had a lovely Christmas, however you chose to spend it. Due to restrictions around social gatherings and travel, we had a Merry Christmas for two. Not quite the same, but we made the most of it, cooking turkey and all the trimmings. I made my special tiramisu trifle (for me as … Continue reading Festive Greetings!
Look out for passing trains! One of the more remote munros in the Glen Carron area, Maoile Lunndaidh required a bike in to make life a little easier. Best laid plans, we parked up at the Forestry Commission car park at Craig before crossing the road and then the railway line. It never ceases to … Continue reading Maoile Lunndaidh: A Hard Earned Munro!

The day started with … Continue reading Solo Sunday: Finding the New ‘Normal’
Clare, happiest outdoors!
