Adventures Cateran Trail | Day 1 Happy Mother’s Day! Day 1 on the Cateran Trail complete! We made it from Blairgowrie to Bridge of Cally where we are spending the night. The terrain was varied and we have had an awesome day. I have been doing lots of thinking today about ‘stuff’, mainly Eve’s
Adventures The Dava Way | Day 2 The Dava Way is an inspirational trail that offers something for everybody, regardless of experience or physical capabilities. Whilst it doesn’t have the magnificence of Glen Coe or the feeling of wilderness as the west coast, what it does offer is a little bit of everything, in an easy
Adventures The Dava Way | Day 1 Eve now has a new personal best having hiked 15.1 miles today through snow that at times was over 6 inches deep. It was hard going, our feet were soaked (but warm). She’s awesome and I’m so proud of her! The trail was amazingly beautiful, walking along
Adventures West Island Way | Day 4 Evening everyone Today was the last day of hiking the West Island Way. We were planning for a long and hard day on the trail. The day started early with the alarm clock going off at 5.30 am. It was still pitch black outside and we struggled to see
Adventures The West Island Way | Day 3 Evening everyone Wow… Eve was fire today! I couldn’t slow her down. I was repeatedly having to ask her to slow down, but it was always my fault, as I should have been keeping up with Eve 🙄😂 I didn’t find it annoying having to call her back, I
Adventures The West Island Way | Day 2 What a day! It’s been immense! We walked 10.3 miles over some truly magnificent terrain with views that were breathtaking in grandeur and sheer beauty. No photograph I have taken could capture how beautiful it was today and how it made us both feel. If it’s okay
Adventures The West Island Way | Day 1 The West Island Way is amazing! The terrain, views, variety and landscapes are all amazing. Obviously this is just the first section but it’s amazing. The weather was harsh though! It was cold and windy, giving a windchill well below freezing. It made stopping for breaks and admiring the
Adventures A step back in time at New Lanark Whilst walking the Clyde Walkway we learned a great deal about the history of New Lanark
Adventures The Mull of Galloway Trail | Day 5 We seriously considered carrying on yesterday afternoon to complete the The Mull of Galloway Trail. It would have been a long day and we’d have probably ended up completing it in the dark. But we didn’t. Waiting and completing it today was the correct decision, as it was
Adventures The Mull of Galloway Trail | Day 4 The coast from Stranraer to Burnfoot Bridge just past Cairnryan where we were to finish todays section feels industrial, with a history, as we found out, that dates back to the Romans. The wee airbnb cottage that Eve and I stayed in last night was delightful and very cosy. It
Adventures The Mull of Galloway Trail | Day 3 Well today was short, sweet and simple. Just 7 miles between Stoneykirk and Stranraer. The route was simple, virtually a straight line following quiet country lanes, farmers livestock fields and a woodland before reaching the coast at Stranraer. Last night I slept terribly. We slept together in a double bed
Charity Adventure 2023 The Mull of Galloway Trail | Day 2 Another epic day walking the coast along the Mull of Galloway Trail, although we did get told off by a very angry lady in a caravan 😆. Always a drama with us! Best thing about today was there was loads of beach walking! After a cup of tea, a good breakfast
Charity Adventure 2023 The Mull of Galloway Trail | Day 1 First day on the Mull of Galloway Trail and it felt great! It was varied, easy and required some dynamic route planning which kept it interesting. We have been looking forward to this trail (a lot) since we first started the Clyde Walkway in Glasgow as it’s remote(ish)
