The Fife Swim Tour 2024!

The Fife Swim Tour 2024! It started as a simple trip to Pittenweem Tidal Pool with Gav. But we continued on to Cellardyke Tidal Pool. And finished at Kingsbarns Beach. Three swims in one day should be the new norm. 🏊 🏊 🏊 Might need to become a yearly event.

Our Adventure is Boarding Now

We’ve been lucky enough to borrow a couple of paddle boards over the summer. Young and Mini Johnston were particularly impressed. We spent a day at Loch Morlich. And two separate days at Loch Tay. We might have to buy one. Watch this space. 😉

Time for Bed

If I asked you about finding the perfect pea, you’d probably think I was talking about food again. I’m not a fan of mushy peas, but petit pois are lovely when they have a bit of a crunch about them. And don’t get me started on big, fat garden peas. This pea chat isn’t related…

Finnich Glen

Mrs J and I explored Finnich Glen today. A deep sided gorge, the red rock in the glorious sunshine gave the water a definite “river of blood” look.

Rainy Camusdarach

The rain parked up near Arisaig as Dave and I arrived at the Camusdarach campsite. It never really moved on again until the morning we left. A beach I’d always wanted to visit and I campsite I’d always heard good things about. We weren’t disappointed, despite the constant wetness. Best picture was probably taken by…

Swimming in the Lagoon

This evening Neil and I went along to see my favourite singer of the last few years, Beluga Lagoon, at the Albert Halls in Stirling. Totally outdoors related as the main guy, Andrew O’ Donnell, is an outdoor film maker and adventurer who writes his own tunes. You should check them out if you haven’t…

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…

Gilmour’s Linn

A wander up to Gilmour’s Linn with Neil and Gav. Second time I’ve been but first time for the other duo. An amazing spot for a dip, although both times I’ve been it’s been windy and raining, this time catching the tail end of Storm Isha. The back of the cave behind the falls was…
