Funny how we make plans for something, get all kitted up, then cannot be bothered. Fat-biking out to the zones in Aberlady Bay around the witching hour was my original plan as tide and weather were favourable. I’d even started … Continue reading

Yesterday morning saw me down in Dalkeith Country Park again, hopping on the 140 bus in Bonnyrigg and alighting just outside Whitecraig. Not the usual place to be entering Dalkeith Country Park. No, I wanted to start my turf from … Continue reading

With the weather forecast looking more favourable after midnight, namely no more rain showers, and temperatures on the mild side, I decided a night-turf was the order of the day, or rather, the wee small hours of the morning. Now, … Continue reading

I must own up and honestly admit that I uttered an early-morning swear work the other day, a very rude one at that. And it wasn’t sugar, darn, piddle or golly-gosh, no something much more meaningful. One similar to that … Continue reading

Tuesday 10th. Having used some of my meagre pension income to purchase a GoPro Max 360 camera, and yes, and a GoPro Hero 10 Black, along with two spare batteries for each, I thought I’d better get out into the … Continue reading

A while back I watched a program on the BBC called “Chris Packham: The Walk That Made Me“. He sets out and walks 10 miles from Eastleigh to Winchester near Southampton, along the River Itchen and the Itchen Navigation canal, … Continue reading

Yes, another day of household chores first, turf second. The paint on our kitchen walls is supposed to be washable, at least that’s was my understanding of Crown silk emulsion. Now I’m not so sure. Check out the stains on … Continue reading

Out for my Daily-Five this morning, an easy kick scoot on the Swifty Air around Bonnyrigg. It was nice to have no fixed plan to take all the zones, as is my usual modus operandi, just scooting a random circuit, … Continue reading

Household jobs first, turf second. And that job is redecorating the bathroom. Okay, it’s not a very large bathroom and a good portion of it is tiled but there’s still a good amount of painting to do. Of course, it’s … Continue reading

Tomorrow sees the end of round #142 and the start of the next turf round. Yes, you’ve guessed correctly, round #143. My turf activities during round #142 have been rather poor, I just haven’t had the impetus to get out … Continue reading

Now fully refueled, but with tired legs from kick scooting 13 miles, and with all 26 zones dotted along the Loch Leven Heritage Trail in the bag, I now wanted to collect the 20 zones in the town of Kinross. … Continue reading

This wasn’t my first visit to Loch Leven, a national nature reserve located beside Kinross in the Kingdom of Fife (most people would say Fife, but Fifers* say the Kingdom of Fife). I’d been here before once with my wife … Continue reading
