Camping in Scotland

Camping in the rain, Fishing in the Rain, On the Beach in the Rain, Icecreams in the rain, Hiding from the rain in the big new tent and all great fun.

Gartmorn Country Park

Rainbow

Enjoying a brilliant evening on the Forth with a public activity group. Great weather with the threatening clouds and rainbow hanging over Edinburgh and the Pentlands while we are safe and dry on the Fife side. The sun always shines in Fife - well usually, maybe, sometimes!

Moving on Up

During a visit to Fishers Farm the girls tackled the climbing wall. I hate to admit that DD2 beat me to the top

Frenzy09

I usually keep this wee Blog for tales of outdoor adventures but I couldn't let this event go by without a mention. The number 1 song on this blog for the past few months has been There Will be a Day by Jeremy Camp. Yesterday Beckie and I got the chance to see him live at the Frenzy christian music festival. All the bands were fantastic but he has some particularly great songs and words which mean a lot in what can be a difficult world to live in at times. Enjoy the song!

ML Again

Photos here from the last shakedown walk before the ML assessment (2nd attempt). Andy provided the company again on this one. Good company as usual as long as you stayed upwind of him. The location is the Tarmachan ridge from the North.

Cant let this post end without sneaking in that I did pass the ML one week later.

Loch Leven Heritage Trail

This a great new easy access trail round Loch Leven, Kinross. I have already used it for biking with a group for Queen Anne HS. The 12 mile round trip was a great challenge for the group and successfully completed by all. We tackled a shorter 5 mile section as the 12" wheels of a 6yr olds bike takes a bit more effort to get along. The Hot Chocolate at Loch Leven's larder was a great half way incentive.
