Ben Lomond, tick! For the third time!

WOW! That’s me now walked up Ben Lomond for the third time in my life! I’ve walked up in it my 20s, 30s, and now done it again in my 40s… Guess I need to do it again in my 50s, 60s and maybe even my 70s…

This time around, I did it with my work wife Julie. I couldn’t be more pride of her. We both did it! The weather had the top, was the best! We didn’t get a view at all! But we did not care, we made it to the top and back down again!

You can check out out route at www.strava.com/activities/11455752375

Happy days! Scotland with the (work)wife here we come!

Happy days! That’s my (work)wife and myself both time booked off work for going to Scotland!

So are we are both really looking forward to it! Just hope the weather plays nice!!

Went to Dunkeld & Birnam railway station, by car…

Since our plans for day all went wrong! Since the A9 road got closed around 3 miles from the place we had hoping to check it… It give me a reason to look around Dunkeld & Birnam railway station!

I can’t tick this railway station off my list… Since we drove to it! To make my list, a journey needs to start or end at station by train.
