A nice day out and a good walk. The roads called the 'tak me doon' and those that know it well can cover it very quickly.

yes it would!

Yeah I tried to talk Amber into walking to meikle Bin or round to the other neighbouring hills and down to the other car park. But she wasn';t having any of it.

We did well though considerign we are not in the best shape these days!

Good effort. I haven't been out for a good walk in ages. Everytime I got spare time tho, like at a weekend I always end up working on the car tho Razz

MUST put aside some weekends for walking soon to get in shape a bit for Scotland. But I know I prolly wont.

boring! lets go all the way to scotland and sit there doin feck all holding a stick!

not my idea of fun Exclamation

altho i did catch a seabass once, but that was on a boat out to see, and we were going back into port so i was given a stick to hold while we went back in....I thought I had snagged the bottom...hell of a pull on it, but no it was a lovely bass....

then later at home my mate was frying it on a little grill out in the garden, went to turn it over in the pan and dropped it in the mud. DOH!
