Grid Square Journeys no. 6 – NS 6690 (Gourley’s Burn)
My first hill day in a while! The sun would be shining, some of the time at least. The forecast told me so. The wind would be light and the chosen spot for a grid square journey was one I’d had my eye on for a while. A wander around the grid square which included…

Grid Square Journeys no. 5 – NN 9931 (Montreal)
I’ve never been to Canada, but when I do I hope it’s as lovely as Montreal in Perthshire in the sun. Yes, that’s right, Montreal in Perthshire. It’s no metropolis but rather is an old croft near Harrietfield with the same name as the largest city in Quebec. And yet for such a lovely area,…

Even the smallest of village usually has a local hill, even if it’s pimple sized, which stands guard over the population. Bridge of Earn has a few. Which is handy as we are still unable to travel for leisure much beyond 5…

Grid Square Journeys no. 1 – NO 1114 (West Dron Hill and Pitkeathly Loch)
The coronavirus lockdown of the last 10 weeks has finally started to ease a little. On Thursday, 67 long days after it started, Nicola Sturgeon signalled the start of phase one of the lockdown relaxation.
