I’ve been exploring Scotland for over twenty years so you’ll
just have to put my use of the word “girl” in my blog header down to artistic
license! But I’ve been away for two and a half years, cycling around the world
and exploring foreign landscapes. Some of you may have followed my blog of that
adventure, “the bicycle diaries”. But
now that I’m back, I’m hoping you’ll join me in this new blog as I explore
Scotland and fall back in love with this beautiful country … or just fall … often.
Ahead of us lie days of trekking remote mountain ranges, cycling the quiet back roads and hill tracks of the countryside, paddling through the calm waters of a hidden loch and hanging out in rural rail and bus stations wondering if the ride home will turn up. In the evenings we’ll throw the tent up at a gorgeous spot by a babbling burn and while away the dark hours with hot soup and a copy of the Scots Magazine. We might even talk about gear and what to do when your hair’s been matted under a helmet for several hours. You don’t get that kind of thing from Bear Grylls!
But most of all I want to share with you the passion and
simple joy of being outdoors.
There'll be lots of photos coming up but in the meantime click here to see my favourites from the pics I've taken in Scotland over recent years. To view individual pics click on the small images to see them full size with a description below or use the "slideshow" button.
A really lovely post.
