Tandeming Arran

9th June 2013, 17 photos

Arrived on Arran to cycle a lap of the island on the tandem only to discover a 5 mile section of the road is currently closed. So instead we did a north loop followed by a south loop. This took in all 3 big cat 3 Arran climbs - the String, the Lochranza climb and the Ross - as well as countless cat 4s. A huge effort, but wonderful fun - and further and MUCH more climbing than the originally planned lap.

Hebridean Mini Adventure

Another brilliant East of Scotland Microlights club flying trip to the West of Scotland. Overnight on Gigha then on over the Paps of Jura to Colonsay for a bbq lunch on the beach. Sunshine and tailwinds all the way - someone up there loves us!!

Saltoun Hall Treasure Hunt

Bank Holiday treasure hunt in our fab, big gardens - followed by a walk to the shop to get ingredients for a picnic in the back garden. The beginnings of summer at last perhaps?

Wet, Wild and Wonderful Kintail

21st April 2013, 30 photos

A fabulous, memorable weekend on the big mountains of Kintail. Climbed the Five Sisters on Saturday - collected at the other end by our perfect hosts, the Cluanie Inn. A very damp day, but lots of views and smiles nevertheless. Then a wee "warm down" on Sunday up Sgurr an Fhuarail - plodding up through rain and sun and wind into the wildest of blizzards at the top - then back, via lunch in the storm shelter, to the Inn for a well earned coffee and cake.

Harry Potter Campervanning

2nd April 2013, 62 photos

Easter break to the west coast in a rented campervan. Brilliant fun searching out Harry Potter movie scenes - successfully bagged all four we were targeting. Delivered a stretcher for servicing to Hamish MacInnes (in person) and carried out Easter Egg hunts for James in various beautiful locations.

Meall nan Tarmachan

2nd March 2013, 24 photos

Lovely winter walk on the Meall nan Tarmachan and the perfect little Tarmachan Ridge. Practiced some "winter skills" on the snow slopes to bypass the "bad step" that I kept telling Kim didn't exist. Until it did!!!

Gordon's 60th

21st September 2012, 6 photos

Hillwalking on Beinn Eunaich and Beinn a' Chochuill to celebrate Gordon's 60th birthday. But of course Gordon had to run across the Ben Cruachan Munros too! Amazing stuff for 60! As he passed us, in a blur, I managed to grab one photo featuring the birthday boy before he vanished again into the middle distance.
