Walking Update

Hi All,
A year has passed since my last entry...For those that don't know;I had an argument with a Pick-Up truck in November last year(the Pick-Up won!) and as a result have been unable to persue my passion for the hills and tracks of Mar.
However,I'm now on the mend and getting fitter by the day and it won't be long before the next walk,which will probably be  slightly less adventurous and definitely slower until full fitness returns. In the meantime,watch this space.

Walk 75 Morrone Circular

What a shame that more people could not share this old favourite.
The weather was good and the paths easy and with a couple of pints of 'Trade Winds'at the Moorfield it rounded off a perfect day.

Braemar Walkers Update 2014

Dear All,
 It's been a long time since I've been able to muster the time and energy to start a walking program again. Hopefully, over the next couple of months, I'll be able to re-kindle a few mountain days before we have to dust off our snow shoes and winter woollies. 
Part of the reason for my lack of presence on the walking scene has been the loss of my faithful old Collie who was featured in so many of my photographs posted on this Blog. I never appreciated how hard it was to lose a walking buddy like him.
However,as is often quoted,'life is for the living' and to that end I will be circulating a couple of old favourites,over the next couple of days, to get back into the swing and  encourage a good attendance?
Watch out for e-mails and this space..
Yours Aye
Richard
