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

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.
