Seals of St Abbs

Just an ordinary, cold, sunny day with Neil on the Berwickshire Coastal Path from Dowlaw to St Abbs. With added seals! We got so close to them, the wee white ones are just pups, only a couple of weeks old. Apparently they come here every winter for a couple of months of breeding. We saw…

A Rest at the Whangie

Two years since Mrs J and I got married, we decided to have a weekend away sans Sam and headed to Loch Lomond. We stayed in a beautifully refurbished hut called the Shepherds Rest near Balmaha and managed a wander in the cold sunshine to the Whangie, a stunning rock formation near Drymen. It looks…

Stob Ban and Mullach nan Coirean

I haven’t been up a Munro in more than a year, so yesterday I went a wander up Stob Ban and Mullach nan Coirean in the Mamores. The weather was warm, but what you don’t see in the pictures is the 40-50mph wind. The Salomon Skyline race was on this weekend too, I could see…

Tunnel Vision

One of the old Glenfarg railway tunnels this week. A family outing to explore these tunnels that we’ve known about for years. Sam loved his head torch and was the best leader we could have asked for.
