Things just about getting back to normal after the high waters of the previous week-end. :) On the Monday of that week ..the 9th. I had a visit to make to Mill Cottage after the week-end storm. The bike was perhaps the most useful way to reach the Feshie Bridge area. A few images of what I came acro...

Back home.on the Speyside Way then a nice.wee walk up to Creag Bheag in the afternoon 20231112_120900.j...

A bit of mixing has been my way. I agree with W a W when he says that he often does his own thing on the multi day routes. Perhaps some of the finest terrain comes about on the Big walks through the Glens. The only organised Ways that I have done have been using my off road bike. I guess that for me...

Thanks for the Image richardh. As I would expect around wet boggy areas not that I have come across them but then I spend most of my time in the Highlands. I Will keep my eyes open when around on damp areas that I reach on my bike. Seems a bit odd when they are growing beside a major access road to ...

Hello...your scirpus lacustris is a sedge and from family Cyperaceae...its common name is ' common bulrush' however it is quite different from typha latifolia that carries the common name Bulrush or Reedmace. This one has the family name Typhaceae. I don't know how that a Sedge, a near grass like pl...

Bulrush, Reedmace, CatsTail ...all the same plant. Had a wee peep into my Keble Martin to confirm. Also fairly sure that it is T. Latifolia rather than the T. Angustifolia. What I was interested In is how to came to be in the location beside the recently constructed dualled road/cycle path. After al...

Found beside the cycketrack close to the dualled section of the A9. The area where this grows is where there was considerable rock cutting to enable the road to be made.

Reading this got me to search out the old hill days book....we went to the Munros by this way from Callander in 1964...Nice day out.

From a visit to Wales sixty years ago I recall a pleasant day out with a reverse of this route from a camp below the Milestone Buttress two Glyders and descent of the Bristly ridge and a finish on Tryfaen back to tent.

One of my concerns about stuff thrown out of small vehicles, I don't think that this is possible from a large truck vehicle, is that the A9 is a major highway to reach the areas that folks enjoy getting to.....walking and climbing or maybe just to stop and to enjoy looking at the wide variety of lan...

Many years back at Ryboan Bothy a solitary person while changing a gas cylinder, old pierced can system, also by the light of.a close bye candle received severe burns. May have.been disturbed by his quick thinking aider entering the bothy who on the aftermath got the badly burned person out to the L...

On a brighterside I came across this wee patch of Bullrushes close to much of the littering beside the race track during the summer. Can anyone tell me how that got here. I guess something not contained within the thrown away stuff?

20231023_145821.jpg If it is.me in the firing line? ....well I am motorist and would find it difficult to operate from where I live without being one. It just that when I am on my bike I do my utmost to stay away from motorists hence the mostly off-road biking that I try to do. The path for bikers ...

Anyway I'll just continue picking up and collecting in the black bags of other folks rubbish thrown from vehicles. I now spike the bags onto places in the view of the petrol heads as a bit of a protest to their rotten actions. Not all days out on my bike heading Northwards are completely bad see ima...
