<span style="font-size: large;">15/August/2016</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">A couple of weeks holiday from work & I fancied a wee road trip up north. Enjoying climbing bikeable munros I was wondering which one to do next, It didn't take long for me to decide as every time I travel up north along the A82 there's one munro in particular that always sticks out like a sore thumb. Travelling north from Tyndrum this particular munro has the appearance of a volcano with it's conical shape & I always say to myself that I'm going to climb that one day & that munro is Beinn Dorain.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Doing a bit of research on it, it seemed a good munro to do & not only that there was also a second munro that could be done on the same ascent path & that munro is called Beinn an Dothaidh.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Earlier in the week my friend Greig invited me to spend a day down in Dumfries at the 7Stanes mountain bike venue of the Forest of AE trail centre, so I returned the favour & Greig came with me to bag these munros, unfortunately Greig messaged me the night before we were due to leave saying his bike brakes were iffy & needed checked out so we decided to leave a little later in the day so that we could pop into a bike shop in the town of Callander so he could get them checked & as we left later we decided just to concentrate on the climb up Beinn Dorain & forget about Beinn an Dothaidh on this trip.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Arriving at our start point here at the Bridge of Orchy we parked up the van behind the hotel & readied ourselves for the climb to the summit of Beinn Dorain.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Ready to rock & roll we set off over the bridge which spans the river Orchy & were soon on our way.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Right from the off it was a relentless steep climb upwards following the path up towards the bealach (a bealach is a mountain pass often like a narrow bridge linking between two mountains) the path varied from boggy sodden wet ground to a rough rocky track with some parts gouged deep into the ground with all the snow melt & heavy rain running down off the mountain, already it was hard going & at this early stage of the climb there was no option other than to carry the bikes over the shoulders, it was hard graft & as we were in a gully the heat was intense & required frequent hydration stops.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The climb just got steeper & steeper but now at least with the altitude there was a slightly cool breeze which was more than welcome.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">While we were having a breather at this point two RAF Tornado fighter / bomber planes roared past without any warning, I was gutted that I never had the camera to hand as they were flying lower than where we were standing & we could look down onto the cockpits, it was an impressive sight to see as they were banking over rounding the contours of the mountain.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">...or so I thought !</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">While I had my head down with bike over my shoulders I must of veered off along an alternative path ! Greig at this point was not in sight I was maybe 10-15 minutes ahead of him, I did quickly think to myself that the path I was on was odd in the fact that I'd started heading downwards along the edge of the munro but thought to myself that it's a clear enough path & this must be the way to the summit, so I continued along this path.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This track soon became obvious that I'd veered off onto a sheep track & at some points was lethally dangerous as there were huge rocks to my left & near vertical drops down to my right for hundreds of feet, there was no way I could push my bike along these sections & I had no alternative other than to carry my bike over my shoulders where my front wheel & handlebars were continuously knocking into the rocks on my left, I was really concerned that I could easily lose my balance along this edge & fall, but bravado pushed me onwards & upwards.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">And the summit of Beinn Dorain was reached & another munro was bagged by bike :-)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">'Ben Dorain'</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Scotland's 64th highest munro at 1076 metres - (3530 feet)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> A couple of minutes later Greig came into view laughing & shaking his head as he followed the correct track up to the summit & could see me scrambling along the mountain edge thinking how much of a numpty I was !</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Stopping & having a blether with an older woman we met at various times of the climb who was from Glasgow, she told us that she got the bus to Bridge of Orchy to climb Beinn Dorain & she was telling us that she gets the bus to various locations to climb munros for which I really admired her spirit doing this sort of thing at her age !</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> But now the real fun began once down off Ben Dorain & onto the bealach path down to Bridge of Orchy it was a fast rough ride negotiating all the rocks, boulders & boggy sections we encountered on the way up, a few scary moments when the front wheel would wash out or lock up on the loose stones or the rear derailleur would smash against protruding rocks but it was an amazing fast techy blast that I was having too good a time to stop & take photos.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Day 2 of my munro bagging trip.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Exhausted after the previous day with not much sleep, driving & climbing Carn a' Chlamain I had an amazing sleep & woke up feeling energised & ready to reach the summit of Ben Vorlich.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Packing up the tent etc, having to force feed myself breakfast to add vital fuel to the body & driving along the shore road of Loch Earn I was ready to bag the next munro of the trip...</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Before crossing the small stone bridge I spotted a gravestone next to the road, this is where the bodies of seven MacDonalds of Glencoe were interred. These victims were killed by the people of Ardvorlich in retaliation for an earlier bloody raid by the MacDonald clan. A reminder that life was not always peaceful on the shores of Loch Earn.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Immediately after the bridge the route to Ben Vorlich goes through the urn topped stone pillars the gate entrance to Ardvorlich house.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Keeping the head down pushing forward & by now it was hike a bike time over the shoulders step by step uphill when I heard a voice saying "Should you not be cycling up this hill" looking up it turned out to be my workmate Callum who was making his way back down off the mountain.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Callum had come up the day before to climb & wild camp up on the summit of Stuc a' Chroin another mountain just to the side of Ben Vorlich, I too had initially planned to climb this munro too but after a bit of research it was more or less impossible to climb with a bike, dangerous as well & I didn't fancy leaving my bike all on it's own while I climbed it so I decided to give it a miss.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">After a wee blether with Callum we both set off in opposite directions. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">(After I finished this climb & was back at work Callum had shown me some of the pictures he had taken during his night up on Stuc a' Chroin & he was lucky enough to have seen red deer, ptarmigan & strangely some goats up on the rocky crags of the mountain, I on the other hand never saw any wildlife other than farm livestock on the lower slopes.)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The first part of the descent was steep, a lot steeper than the picture suggests, I had only just rode about 30 yards & the front wheel washed out on the loose scree & off I came rolling down the mountain all part of the fun though :-)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Before the long drive back home I made a coffee on the stove & drank it by the loch looking back up the mountain thinking how awesome the last two days had been, then making another coffee for my travel mug to drink going down the road. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">What a brilliant two day adventure it was & another two munros bagged, now time to plan which ones are next on the bikeable munro to do list !</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Hope you enjoyed the climb & ride, thanks for visiting & keep the wheels turning.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">A few days off work so a wee road trip was required.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> I love being up in high places with the bike looking down on all below & I'm quite enjoying bagging bikeable munros. Inspired by a guy who I follow on facebook who likes to wildcamp on top of munros I decided to climb a munro called 'Carn a' Chlamain' located in Perthshire which he featured on his facebook page & then drive over to Lochearn to set up camp then the following morning climb 'Ben Vorlich' also located in Perthshire.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Loading up the van the night before so I could make an early start to miss the traffic I was up & out the house on my way by 04:45.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">For the first time since I left my van the rain had stopped but I was really toiling now at this point as I hadn't had much sleep, going to bed late & wide awake at 01:20 I tossed & turned in my bed & ended up getting up at 03:45, I didn't have anything to eat before leaving the house & now I was feeling quite nauseous, dizzy, tired & running on empty, being wet & sweating with the humidity didn't help much either, but I'm not one for quitting & I'm a determined sort of guy who likes to push on through the pain, so keeping the mindset strong I battled onwards & upwards. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Just opposite the derelict but'n'ben there was a hill burn which fed into the River Tilt, I never noticed the impressive waterfall the first time I passed.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Back along the track following the downstream flow of the River Tilt I soon arrived back at my van, loading the bike into it & getting changed into some dry clothes I set off towards the popular Perthshire town of Pitlochry to get something to eat & a couple of supplies for my wild camp, most importantly a big juicy rib eye steak to cook on the bonfire I planned to have.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Arriving & parking up in Pitlochry I picked up some supplies & bought the aforementioned rib eye steak from the local butchers then proceeded to the chippy for a fish supper. Where I live the chippy's have chippy sauce which is a very vinegary brown sauce, chippy sauce seems to be a very localised thing around the area where I live as most chippy's only offer salt & vinegar but all was not lost as I brought with me a bottle of reggae reggae sauce which was a third best choice after chippy sauce & HP sauce.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">After enjoying my fish supper I hit the road again towards Loch Earn, once I got to Loch Earn I drove along the banks of the loch looking for a wild camp spot close to Ben Vorlich but I could hardly find anywhere available as at every suitable area someone was already camped up there with either tents or motorhomes & they all seemed to be fishermen who I guess would be fishing for pike in the loch.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I kept going looking for a good spot but it wasn't easy & I knew I'd find somewhere eventually, I had all afternoon to find somewhere & I'd planned to drive along the full length of the loch anyway as Ben Vorlich was at Ardvorlich near Lochearnhead & where I wanted to pitch up at but I wanted to go & see the 'Mirror Man' of Loch Earn which is situated at the opposite end of the loch at St. Fillans.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The Mirror Man is often featured on another facebook group I'm a member off called 'Scotland from the roadside' where any member can add photos to the group providing they are taken by the roadside & I wanted to see this sculpture up close & for real.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The statue stands nearly 3 metres tall & was created by artist Rob Mullholland it's made up from hundreds of mirrored tiles welded together & it stands just into the water of the loch.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm sure you'll agree it was worth the drive to see it's an impressive sight looking at it with the loch & hills behind it.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Driving back along the loch side I eventually found a suitable camp site for the night albeit a bit closer to St. Fillans than where I wanted to be at Ardvorlich near Lochearnhead & Ben Vorlich, but probably a better location as there was no other campers anywhere near me so my kind of place.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Pitching the tent in the afternoon sun & making camp for the night I was exhausted with all the driving & mountain climbing so was keen just to settle into camp for the night & chill out.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">One thing I did like was that all the suitable camp spots along Loch Earn the local council had installed wheelie bins for people to put their rubbish in rather than leaving it lying behind them, but one of my pet hates was in this location being an old fire that has not been removed in the 'leave no trace' attitude, even the tree has been scorched by a former fire !</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">After a look about & a wash in the loch it was time to get the rib eye steak cooking, I wanted to build a small camp fire but there was no dry or dead wood around camp, people had damaged trees to burn in a fire but that's not what I'm about so I opted to cook the steak on my stove instead along with some sausages washed down with a nice can of cider, what a reward for a hard day it was delicious.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">After enjoying my dinner I chilled out listening to music drinking another can of cider & by 20:30 I could hardly keep my eyes open so decided to go back down to the loch shores for a wash & then get some shut eye & recharge the body batteries ready for the assault climbing Ben Vorlich in the morning which is bigger & steeper than Carn a' Chlamain.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Thanks for reading & I hope you enjoyed the ride, come back in a day or two to read about the climb up Ben Vorlich.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">After as always an excellent sleep in the hammock I woke early to the dawn chorus of birds singing throughout the woods on a warm, bright & sunny morning. Lying in the hammock for a while & too comfortable to move I thought I'd better make the effort & get up.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">After getting out the hammock in less than two minutes the hammock was rolled up & into the snake skins & back in the bag ready to pack onto the bike.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Bike packed up for the last time I made my way back up onto the GGW trail for the final day of the journey from Inverness to Fort William.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">With mixed emotions of being exited to meet up with the family in Fort William but at the same time saddened that this trip seemed to just whizz by in no time at all & is nearly all over. I wasn't ready to finish up today & I wanted to keep going & was kind of wishing I took my wife's advice & do the West Highland Way & Great Glen Way together.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">While waiting on the wife & kids I lay back on the grass reminiscing over the last four days but at the same time feeling slightly dejected that it was all over.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">While the family went for a daunder along the High Street I stripped my trusty & faithful old Giant & packed all my gear into the car & secured the bike onto the car ready for the journey home.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">While I was loading up the car I spotted a West Highland Way baggage transfer van at the train station. Baggage transfer services like this has opened up the WHW to far more people who can't or don't want the burden of carrying heavy rucksacks, a great idea allowing people to walk the twelve / fifteen miles with just a small day pack & when they get to their lodgings for the night their baggage will be there waiting on them.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For me I love the hard work slogging my own gear, being self sufficient & camping out in the wilds of Scotland but each to their own I suppose.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So that's it...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">..."Done & Dusted..!"</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Great Glen Way now ticked off my bucket list.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Thoughts of the route are positive despite the rubbish weather the first couple of days which didn't really bother me too much other than blocking out the scenery & not being able to have a daunder around my campsite confining me to the inside of my tent. I enjoyed the whole route, not the hardest route to do but none the less enjoyable, the first couple of days were the hardest going up & down hills but once I reached Fort Augustus it was more or less flat easy to ride canal towpaths to follow.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The amount of information panels along the whole route were very impressive, it was interesting reading the history about the areas I was passing through.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The quality of the well looked after paths & features were great & a credit to the GGW rangers who maintain them.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Riding along looking into the ancient lochs of the Great Glen Fault with that eerie mystical feeling scanning the surface of Loch Ness hoping to see it's most famous resident Nessie...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> ...(who does exist by the way ;-)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The downside of the journey had to be the midge attacks on day 2 but even more infuriating was the attitude & neglect of some of the other route users leaving their mess behind them, the used camp fires being the worst, that really angered me especially the one up on the high route where the idiots had pulled down parts of the dry stone wall of the seating / viewing area to make their fire surround !</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So there you have it the Great Glen Way, now to start planning for next years adventure...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">...the East Highland Way,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Fort William to Aviemore :-)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Hope you enjoyed the tour & thanks for reading.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Waking up early in the morning to the distant hum of a boat engine cruising up Loch Ness I lay for a while checking the days weather forecast & again checking the route map planing my refuelling stops & where to pitch up for the last wild camp of the trip. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The weather was looking promising for the day with no rain & the grey skies clearing later in the day so I was optimistic that I could find a suitable spot & hang the Hennessy Hammock up to sleep in for my final night as I always have the perfect sleep in it.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Loading up the bike once again I head off along the GGW to see what the day brings.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I read somewhere but I can't remember where that the horseshoe shaped scree slope was created by the Loch Ness monster.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If I remember correctly the folklore tale said that it was made because someone had placed a bottle of whisky to coax Nessie out of the loch, which she did climbing up then sliding back into the murky depths of the loch in the process creating the scree slope you see above.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The castles position overlooking Loch Oich on Creagan an Fhithich (the Raven's Rock) in the Great Glen was a strategic one in the days of clan warfare. It's not certain when the first structure was erected on Creagan an Fhithich but there are at least two sites prior to the present castle.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">It's a few years now since I had a house with an open fire, but even now I still miss the hard graft of chainsawing trees & splitting logs to keep the home fires burning. It was almost an obsession of mine & every time I see a log pile it brings back great memories & I do appreciate a good log pile.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Riding through the Clunes forest I had an area picked out on the route map that I thought would be a good camp spot for the night, but when I got to that area there was one of those composting toilet cabins & looking into the woods behind it I could see three tents pitched up, so this is obviously a popular area for wild campers.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Not a very social person & liking being alone in my own company I cycled by & started scanning for an alternative camp site for my last wild camp of the GGW trip.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">A mile or two further along the trail I passed this area & looking down into the woods it was carpeted with wood sorrel & looked like a very inviting & perfect place to hang the Hennessy Hammock.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Leaving the trail I rode down through the trees & I was not disappointed, it was perfect, I'd found an even better place with loads of trees to hang the hammock up for the night & a nice clearing down below with an ideal place for a camp fire & just beyond was Loch Lochy where I could find drift wood along the shores & somewhere to have a wash.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Throughout the night I kept waking up to the rain bouncing off the tent, sometimes it was really heavy & other times it was light drizzle but despite this I had a great nights sleep.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> It had not stopped raining since I got off the train in the early afternoon yesterday at Inverness, nothing I can do about the weather so this morning I had a hearty breakfast of eggs & bacon, put the waterproofs back on, packed up & set off once more along the GGW to see what the day brings.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">My first view of Loch Ness as the route up until now takes you more inland. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Loch Ness is absolutely ginormous, it is a large deep freshwater loch extending approximately 23 miles in length, the loch is the second largest Scottish loch by surface area after Loch Lomond, but due to it's great depth it's the largest by volume in the British Isles. It's deepest point is 755ft-(230m) & it contains more fresh water than all of the lakes in England & Wales combined !</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Along the whole GGW route from start to finish the amount of old fires that were just next to the trail side I would come across was just unbelievable, I honestly cannot understand some peoples attitude to the outdoor code ! What makes anyone think that leaving this is ok ? It would of taken seconds to throw or kick the rocks if they were still hot back into the waterfall & the un-burnt wood too for that matter, but no they just decided to leave it here as an eyesore for other trail users !</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Urquhart Castle is situated on a headland overlooking Loch Ness. It was approached from the west & defended by a ditch & drawbridge. The buildings of the castle were laid out around two main enclosures on the shore. The northern enclosure or Nether Bailey includes most of the more intact structures including the gatehouse & the five-storey Grant Tower at the north end of the castle. The southern enclosure or Upper Bailey sited on higher ground comprises the scant remains of earlier buildings.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The present ruins date from the 13th to 16th centuries, though built on the site of an earlier medieval fortification. Founded in the 13th century Urquhart played a role in the 'Wars Scottish of Independence' in the 14th century. It was subsequently held as a royal castle & was raided on several occasions by the MacDonald Earls of Ross. The castle was granted to the Clan Grant in 1509 though conflict with the MacDonalds continued. Despite a series of further raids the castle was strengthened only to be largely abandoned by the middle of the 17th century. Urquhart was partially destroyed in 1692 to prevent its use by the Jacobite forces & subsequently decayed. In the 20th century it was placed in state care & opened to the public.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Out into the open again the heavy rain now a mere drizzle it was nice to see the warming yellow flowers on the broom bushes as I rode along, I could hear a cuckoo cuckooing too, I'd love to see one sometime, I hear them often but have never saw one before.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Next to the trail side I found this rustic honesty snack shack selling water, fizzy juice & the most amazingly delicious homemade baking. I bought a can of juice & a two rock buns which I can honestly say the rock buns were the best I'd ever tasted. The little snack shack was a real work of art, the quality of the workmanship was second to none the way it was constructed from a fallen rowan tree from the back of the owners house. Such is the quality of this thing I was thinking how cool it would look inside my house with a glass front on it as an enclosure for one of my snakes !</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So if the owners of this little snack stop ever read this blog post I thank you for the rock buns & the snack shack was a nice thing to come across on an otherwise horrible & miserable day.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Onwards following the blue trail way markers I made a small mistake, the blue way marker above gave an option of direction & I wanted to take the high route which was introduced in 2014 following the direction of the hill path option I rode for a few hundred yards to see some signs advertising a pottery, it was then I noticed another sign at the pottery gate saying that the path I decided to take was a mountain path only & not part of the GGW.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> This could of easily been an avoidable mistake if I had bought the up to date footprint map but I didn't I bought the map before the high route was introduced.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> Turning around I went back to the way marker & followed the other route choice which after looking at it again it made sense as the GGW route had the route thistle next to it.

<span style="font-size: large;">Reaching the end of the forestry fire road there was a dry stone seating/viewing. An 'S' shaped design with a wooden bench on either side to sit & admire the scenery up & down the loch.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The seating area was well placed for a rest before tackling the trail which now took a turn up into more trees at a much steeper gradient & it was a case of pushing the bike as it was too steep to cycle up with all the weight the bike was carrying.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Finally reaching the top of the high route out of & now above the tree line to find another dry stone seating/viewing area & although I was glad I'd got to the top I was disappointed for two reasons.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1/ - I could hardly see a thing, the rain had stopped but the cloud seemed to sink & swallow everything up, at times I could hardly see my hand in front of my face it was so thick, I was kind of gutted after all the hard work to get up here hoping to see some awesome views along Loch Ness & the Great Glen only to see nothing !</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">2/ - And even more infuriating was to find yet another fire pit someone has made & left behind them, but this one was the worst of all as the idiots who made this one thought it would be a good idea to destroy part of the dry stone seating area to create the stone circle to burn their fire in & then thought it would be clever to pull down more of the wall to cover the fire with once they'd finished with it !</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">You can see on the bottom picture the r/h/s of the seating area that has been pulled down & destroyed. I cannot believe that someone could do this, it beggars belief ! It's the wee things like this that makes these routes so special just like the snack shack I'd passed earlier in the day & the thought that someone has climbed up here to build this for people to have the use of to rest up & enjoy the scenery beneath & around them only for some total idiot/s to think it's ok to rip part of it down to build a fire with. Not only that they had left a plastic bottle & sweet wrappers lying around which was nice of them !</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">A small deforested clearing opens up views down onto Loch Ness once more & down below was the village of Invermoriston. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">From my vantage point & looking at my route map the bottom picture was the route I'd be taking out of the village up the hill & forking to the left back into the trees, from here it looked fairly steep.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Arriving in the quaint little village of Invermoriston I payed the village shop a visit & bought some delicious pastries & a can of juice as well as water to fill my drinks bottles with. Outside the shop there was a picnic bench where I sat & ate a pulled pork pastry & a bacon & cheese melt both were equally delicious & went down a treat but while sitting there enjoying my food watching the world go by.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> Those bloody midges were doing my head in !</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> So bad in fact that I went back into the shop & bought a packet of 10 cigarettes to get rid of the little nightmares, Iv'e not smoked in nearly a year & a half & these little shits drove me to it !</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Leaving the village behind I was glad to be under pedal power again to escape those f*****g midges & I was right enough that the hill I was looking at before dropping down into the village was steep alright & as I rode along I stopped at another information panel which turned out to be another route choice giving the option for a low route or a high route. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I never really done my homework about the high route I just thought there was only one high route, turns out there's two parts to it. Disappointed with the views from the first part & since the weather brightened up a bit I opted to take the chance & climb the high route once more hopefully to be rewarded with cracking views, not only that I thought that if I was high up again I would be clear of the midges. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">This hill was steep, very steep & the information panel stated that the climb was a 330 metre climb to the top ! What didn't help was the fact that a good part of it was very straight so you couldn't really judge your progress very well.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">But finally my perseverance started paying off as the trees started to thin out & Loch Ness came back into view, the midge bites seemed to relent with altitude.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Brilliant that the rain had finally stopped I could stretch my legs a bit & have a decent wash in the burn as I felt minging after all the sweat & toil that the day handed me & of coarse the midge bites.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My chosen long distance route to cycle this year is the 'Great Glen Way' starting off in Inverness on the east of Scotland at the Moray Firth following the way marked route down to finish Fort William at the head of the sea loch Loch Linnhe on the west coast to the Firth of Lorn. The GGW is a fault line known as the Great Glen Fault, geologically almost splitting Scotland in two. The route is a maritime highway as sea fairing vessels of a certain size can essentially take a short cut right through the middle of the country from east to west or vice versa.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The route runs along side the world famous Loch Ness, Loch Oich & Loch Lochy each connected by the Caledonian Canal which was constructed in the early 19th century by Scottish engineer Thomas Telford. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The canal runs some 60 miles from northeast to southwest, only one third is man made the rest being connected by the above mentioned lochs.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The GGW total distance is 77 miles long & is one of a growing number of long distance routes in Scotland. The route could be done in a day or two no problem but I like to take my time & enjoy the sights & scenery & treat the journey like a holiday tourist.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Getting off the train arriving in Scottish Highland capital of Inverness to horrendous weather, it was pouring with rain, a fairly strong wind & unseasonably cold for the time of the year & my first thoughts were what am I doing ! But I knew the weather was going to be rainy & just wanted to get on with it anyway, sometimes Scotlands scenery can look it's very best in the bad weather with dramatic looking clouds above the craggy mountains & moody hills so I was quite optimistic to what the next four days would have in store for me.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The route starts/ends at Inverness castle which sits on a cliff overlooking the River Ness. The red sandstone building evident today was built in 1836, it is built on the site of an 11th century defensive structure.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Spying a bus with hoards of Asian tourists getting off making their way to the castle I quickly took the obligatory pre route photos of the journey starting point before heading off along the Great Glen Way.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Not too sure what these stone pillars are for, they were a few hundred yards apart & both had the same inscription chiseled onto them. I could read the top word no problem which said 'Dochga' & the bottom word looked like 'Broch' but I'm not sure as it was hard to read. I can't seem to find any information about it, Dochga could be a place & a Broch which is what the bottom word looked like is prehistoric stone tower, so possibly there was once a broch around here somewhere now long gone who knows ?</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">A way marker pointed me through a gate into a young mixed species woodland of birch & pine, part of the Abriachan forest, the trail through the woods was a single track & as I was riding a bike & slightly higher than someone walking I was brushing through the low hanging branches which in turn expelled the resting water on them down the back of my neck which was quite refreshing !</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Along the track were loads of these signs advertising a cafe & campsite within the woodland, I never saw the cafe or campsite but did see the signs pointing to the trail leading to it, I decided to give it a miss as I was only a couple of miles where I'd planned to find a decent wild camp spot.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Climbing uphill with no real effort involved I was a little surprised to say the least when I discovered this way marker stating that this was the routes highest point. I'm not too sure if this is still the case since the addition of the GGW alternative high route which was introduced in August 2014. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Reaching my target mileage for the day I was looking for somewhere to pitch up the tent, there were plenty places to hang the Hennessy hammock but with the non stop relentless rain I wanted to be in the tent at least that way I could move about inside it unlike the hammock but I was really struggling to find a good spot, hard rocky uneven ground, tree stumps, ditches & waterlogged heather patches were proving to be a nightmare scenario, so onwards I went hoping the perfect pitch spot would soon be presented.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Exiting the pine forest onto an open moorland a warm sigh of relief came over me as I knew that I had a better chance of finding somewhere suitable to camp for the night. I found this old derelict farm at Corryfoyness & nearby scanning around I found the perfect spot to camp for the night a few hundred yards from the creepy old farm buildings & next to a raging torrent of a hill burn.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Putting the tent up quickly & going inside to get dried off & dry clothes on felt brilliant. </span><span style="font-size: large;">It had not stopped raining once since I arrived in Inverness & being inside the tent nice & dry listening to the rain pitter patter on the tent skin was quite hypnotic it was just a pity I was trapped inside as normally I like to pitch up then explore the area around my home for the night & prepare a small bonfire but not this time I was just happy to be in out of the rain.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">After a coffee I was ready to get some dinner on the boil & the choice menu at the Tarptent hotel tonight was some delicious chicken tikka & rice followed by treacle pudding in golden syrup & my campsite favourite treat some freeze dried choc chip mint ice cream...superb it all was too !</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Contented with a full belly & grateful to be out the rain I finished my day by listening to some music while studying the map of the journey I'd taken today & planning my campsite & refuelling locations for tomorrow then finally playing on my phone catching up with the family & keeping up to date with the usual social media nonsense ! It was great to have internet in such a remote area.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> The day started off pretty negative when I arrived in Inverness to heavy rain, wind & quite cool weather thinking to myself what the hell am I doing this for in this weather but I find that if you keep the mind positive & strong even in rubbish weather you can have a great day out enjoying Scotlands finest scenery, not that I took many pictures of the scenery today as I didn't want to risk damaging my camera with the water but many more photos were taken in the coming days.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So that's that for day 1 on the GGW hope you enjoyed it, day 2 will be posted up in a day or two.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">An article that caught my eye in a work newsletter of which my company had donated three tonnes of bagged cement to a project being carried out up in the nearby village of Oldhamstocks to repair a bridge which had been washed away in 2010. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">My nose got the better of me & I fancied a wee ride up the hills to find this bridge which I knew nothing about, I also remembered that a work mate had once told me that he found an old bridge in the Dunglass Estate down in the gorge of Dunglass Dean so I thought that I'd set off on an adventure to find these two bridges & check them out.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">As I rode by the electricity substation a bird of prey caught my eye as it was landing near the top of the pylon, it was quite big but too small to be a buzzard, zooming in with the camera I was amazed to see that it was a peregrine falcon out here in the open hills. Normally peregrines hunt & live near cliffs, high rise buildings or open marsh lands where there is a plentiful source of pigeons or large flocks of water birds to feed on so I thought it unusual to be out here in the open grazing lands. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">There is a resident breeding pair at my work the cement plant due to the tall buildings, quarry & copious amounts of pigeons so I could hardly see them coming as far as this & there is also a breeding pair at Torness power station & again I reckon there will be enough pigeons there amongst the large buildings to sustain there hunger.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">And there it is the Old Mill footbridge rebuilt in this beautiful location spanning the Oldhamstocks Burn.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The bridge was washed away in 2010 after the savage winter weather conditions resulted in snow melt swelling the burn & washing away the popular local footbridge.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The local community got together back in 2012 to explore what could be done to restore the popular bridge used by locals as a circular round walk & my work was approached for help of which they provided 3 tonnes of cement & a work colleague who lives in the village was on the team assisting the project.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I think it's great to see projects like this happening, a bridge like this doesn't mean much to many people & I never knew that it even existed until I saw the article in the works newsletter but to the people who live in the village & use the bridge it means a lot & is a fantastic achievement for them to rally round & get their bridge back, great stuff.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">While I was cycling through the estate I was trying to remember where my work colleague Jimmy told me where the old bridge down in the Dunglass Dean was.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> So heading into the Belvidere Wood where a former French camp was once sited, hence the French name for these woods & passing by the old estate gazebo again of French design which is looking a bit neglected & forgotten, the gazebo is a classical summer house built in 1718 & decorated with ornate carvings such as winged cherubs, fleur-de-lys & flower details & it's a shame seeing something this old not being looked after.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The crows, rooks, ravens, magpies etc can manage to get into the bated trap but are unable to then fly out thus trapping them. The purpose of trapping & killing them is normally carried out by gamekeepers trying to protect their game birds from the corvid species who prey on the young game birds & eggs.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The former John Muir Way path from Fisherrow in Musselburgh to Cockburnspath before it was altered in 2014 to make the route a long distance route from Dunbar John Muirs birthplace on the east of Scotland to Helensburgh on the west of the country where Muir left these shores to start a new life in the United States of America. This former JMW route is now just called the JMW link path from Dunbar to Cockburnspath where another long distance route starts/ends the Southern Upland Way.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">On the map I noticed these standing stones which I'd never knew existed, but at the same time I didn't quite expect standing stones like this I was thinking that there was going to be some big ancient stone or stone.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I can't seem to find out much information about these stones all I can find is that they are most likely from the near by Dunglass Collegiate Church site. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Not much to go on there I'm afraid & I think there is a far more interesting story than what little information there is to go on !</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">...for a day on the downhill tracks with mtb buddies John, Greig, Iain & Bryan.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We were all full of enthusiasm as none of us had ridden here before. The week before we came the Sottish Downhill Association were racing here & through the week some of the worlds best riders were training here before the UCI World Cup at Fort William which was the day after we visited. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The black graded downhill track from here looked almost vertical. Through the week some of the worlds top downhill riders were along here practicing for the UCI mountain bike world cup just a few miles along the road at Fort William it would of been great to be here to watch them ply their trade, speak to them, check their bikes out & get selfies with them....as you do !</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">'Stob Dearg' meaning the red peak - 'Buachaille Etive Mor' meaning the big herdsman of Etive.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The mountain is 1021 metres / 3349 feet & is Scotlands 110th highest munro.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Stob Dearg is the highest peak of Buachaille Etive Mor & one of the most famous sights of the Highlands. The mountain presents a huge pyramid of rock to travellers along the A82 across Rannoch Moor.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This is also the mountain on my blog header picture from when I done the West Highland Way in 2012.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The first run down the red track was just a fairly slow exploratory ride to see what technical features we would face when bombing down the track at speed, Iain only made a couple of hundred yards from the top & got a puncture. More or less the whole route down is a boulder field with some sections more rocky than others to negotiate & Iain's bike was not the only casualty of the day he also bent a brake lever & John buckled his front wheel so badly it was unrideable, my front wheel took a slight twist too. Four out of the five of us all crashed at some point fortunately with no serious injuries apart from Greig who managed to stay on his bike due to him riding downhill like an old age pensioner out for a Sunday drive ;-)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">After each run down we would meet up at the car park for a blether & had a good laugh talking about some of the 'moments' we had on the way down. Greig, Bryan & Iain brought a BBQ which was amazing scoffing bacon & sausage rolls while having a laugh & every now & then we would see some casualties other riders had sustained as they limped about the car park with torn clothes, bloodied & bruised.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">These paraglider dudes were also using the ski lift to get so far up the mountain & then walked higher to their launch point, it looked great fun as they rode the thermals & they gained some height soaring like seagulls & some of them even managed to get over to the Buachaille & were flying around the mountain, they must of had awesome views from up there.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Not a lot of pictures to this blog post I'm afraid as I left the camera, other breakables & </span><span style="font-size: large;">back pack</span><span style="font-size: large;"> in the van just in case they got damaged or broken, since this is a downhill venue & I wanted to give it what for & go as fast as I could.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Anyway I hope you enjoyed Glencoe as much as we did, personally speaking it was one of the best day's riding Iv'e ever had on an mtb & it won't be long before I'm back at this awesome venue.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Thanks for reading.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Getting my bike gear together I had a couple of swallows which kept coming into my kitchen looking for somewhere to build their nest after their epic journey from South Africa, amazing little birds & I love watching them in flight.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The closest doocot to my home which is around a mile away.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">"Thurston doocot"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Thurston lands were Lindsay property in the 13th century, then passed through several other hands. A member of the Hunter family, who took ownership in 1745, soon made extensive additions to an earlier house. The mansion is gone along with a large two-chambered lectern style doocot.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">A second doocot, however survives adjacent to a 19th century steading. It occupies the upper part of a square tower of dressed red sandstone, with a pyramidal slate roof topped by a metal pennant. A plaque identifies it as being of 19th century date. There are doors to the upper & lower levels on the south side, and narrow window openings on the other three sides at doocot level, blocked up with stone or wood.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">A broad alighting ledge runs round a little below the eaves, and above this on the south side is a row of 12 flight holes. The roof rests on a plain projecting eaves cornice. In the 1960's, Bailey & Tindall noted that there were 156 nest boxes made of brick & tiles & all accessible from the floor, but this could not be checked during more recent field work.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Leaving the doocot behind I took a little trail I know down into the Thurston glen, always a beautiful wild & natural place to cycle through I just hope that the caravan park doesn't take it over like they have further downstream filling it with caravans & little perfect manicured roads which spoils the natural beauty that this place has.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Climbing the wee hill up to the Brunt steadings & I was shocked to find the place stripped back to the bare walls. I did mention in a previous blog post that the building looked as if they were about to be transformed into housing but I was surprised at how quickly the work was being carried out.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Anyway as you can see I have pinched the bottom couple of pictures from Google as I couldn't see the gable end due to the scaffolding & I couldn't find my own pictures of the gable end of the steading with the slab of stone with the 3 flight holes cut out of the stone, often farm buildings had pigeon lofts to accommodate pigeons & just like the purpose built doocots they had the same function to have a steady supply of meat through the winter months.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">"Spott doocot"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The Spott estate was named after it's original Norman owner, Elias de Spot. Later it passed throught the hands of several well known families, the Humes, Douglasses, Murrays & Hays. An older house was extensively modernised in the first half of the 19th century.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The handsome lectern doocot, probably from the 18th century, is in a field close to the entrance lodge & about 500m from the mansion. A new owner of the estate fully restored the doocot a few years ago, although the parapet finials were not replaced. It's random rubble walls sit on a plinth & are uncharacteristically dark for East Lothian. They carry a stringcoarse on the gables & north rear elevation which terminates in a high parapet. Crowsteps top the gables & internal dividing wall, and the slate roof is interrupted by a horizontal row of 12 flight holes. The symmetrical south front has 2 entrances , each fitted with new doors, and 2 rectangular air vents are sited immediately below the eaves.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The frontage is fitted with a modern rhone & downpipe & two metal tie-rods.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">In the 1950's Niven Robertson reported 1422 stone nest boxes, and each chamber had a potence.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The doocot that started of my appreciation & love for these amazing buildings.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">"Bourhouse doocot"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Bourhouse is a small Jacobean-style mansion built in 1835 for Major-General Carfrae of the East India Company. The presence of the 18th century doocot& walled garden suggest that there must have been an earlier house on the site.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The double lectern doocot is in a semi-wild garden area 300m from the mansion. The random rubble walls, with a single encircling stringcoarse, are extensively harled on the back & on the lower gables. A low parapet with 3 capped finials crowns the north wall, from where falls the steeply pitched roof flanked by regular crowsteps capping the outer gables & centre party walls.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The roof is bisected by a continuous row of 34 flight holes pierced in paired (rotting) horizontal timber facings.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">At some stage a low ceiling was was inserted to convert part of the building into a cart shed or gig-house, although in the right hand chamber at least this ceiling has now gone. As part of a conversion, wider arched doorways replaced the originals. There is a rectangular air vent above each doorway & a pointed-head one in each gable, each fitted with a vertical bar, probably to prevent entry birds of prey intent on harrying the pigeons.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">There are thought to have been originally 1402 stone nest boxes. The lower rows were filled in during the conversion, & about 475 remain in the right hand chamber, the other not being accessible. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Of all the doocots that I know around my local vicinity this one here is by far my most favourite, although it's badly damaged & in very poor condition it's location is just amazing. The doocot faces south & the view down the hill onto a large crescent shaped grass field with the Biel burn a divide for the hill on the other side which is covered in mature trees is an absolute sublime view & every time I come to this doocot I always have the same thought going through my head that I'd love to transform this old doocot into a house & owning the grass field below where I could have my own fly fishing pond, a huge poly tunnel for my chilli plants, vegetable garden, orchard & have loads of animals such as pigs, goats, more hens & maybe even a pet donkey !</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">"Biel doocot"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">References to Biel go back to the 12th century. It came into the hands of a branch of the Hamilton family, later Nisbet-Hamilton, in 1647. An early tower house was altered & extended in stages from 1760.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The 17th/18th century doocot double lectern doocot sits on a plinth in a field at the top of a bank above a narrow haugh, about 500m from the mansion. The stonework is particularly attractive consisting of random rubble, red & honey sandstone, lightly pointed with matching gravelly mortar. The south facing doorway to each chamber has moulded facings & a relieving arch & above each is a small round air vent.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">There are two stringcoarses encircling the building, the upper one in the front serving as an eaves cornice.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The two chambers are in very different condition. The west chamber is bounded by a gable & a partition wall which breaks the roof, both descending from the briefly returning rear parapet in 9 broad steps. It's roof has partly gone as has the wooden row of 12 flight holes half way up. Part of the upper rear wall is also missing, exposing some of the nest boxes. Most of the original complement of these remain, set on a 500mm plinth, just over 1000 of stone with 50mm ledges. Unusually for a rectangular chamber, a potence beam is propped up against one wall with a single ladder attached, although they are surprisingly short in relation to the height of the chamber.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The east chamber,on the other hand, has completely lost it's roof & the rear & gable walls are reduced to only 2.3m, the front wall to about 4m. Only about 360 of the original 1000 nest boxes remain.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">When I first entered the doocot I startled a couple of pigeons, as the slapped their wings to leave the doocot I looked up at them only to see a beautiful barn owl take flight at my presence too, I was gutted that I never had my camera ready to catch a picture or two of it. Amongst the copious amounts of pigeon poo were dozens & dozens of owl pellets, these are the remains of the owls meal & parts which the owl can't digest such as bones, fur, teeth etc, the owl spits these out in a tightly formed pellet.. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">As you can see on the above two pictures the first pellet which has a rodent skull, bones & hair in it & the second of just some of the pellets which littered the doocot floor, these are the dark thumb sized dark patches on the floor.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">"Belton doocot"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The original tower house of the ancient Belton estate passed through several hands. It had virtually disappeared beneath subsequent additions by the late 19th century & has subsequently been razed.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The random rubble double lectern doocot is tightly hemmed in by the encroaching foliage from the woodland & lies some way from the house site. A stringcoarse runs along the gables & briefly returns along the rear. The gables are crow stepped as is the party wall between the chambers which breaks the roof. The original roofing has been replaced with corrugated iron sheeting.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The single door on the front gives into two chambers, the left-hand having housed a gas lighting plant since before Niven Robertson's visitin the 1950's which probably accounts for the insertion of a modern window. All it's nesting boxes have been filled in. It's east facing roof is submerged in ivy. The right-hand chamber has lost the lower part of it's corrugated roof & the wooden row of flight holes which ran across the middle of it from gable to gable is dilapidated. About 400 of it's original complement of nearly 777 nest boxes remain, set on a plinth 0.6m high above floor level.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The crow steps are barely recognisable as such, but otherwise the walls are in fair condition.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The last doocot of the day & this one is in somones garden so I could only get the one picture of it poking above the wall (top picture) the bottom two are courtesy of Google images.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">"Meikle Pinkerton doocot"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Pinkerton estate was once the property of the ducal family of Roxburgh, but there is no trace left of any residence earlier than the present late 18th century or early 19th century farmhouse of Meikle Pinkerton.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The doocotstands in the garden behind the farmhouse. Although cicrcular & tapering it's walls do not have the usual convex elevation of the beehive style doocots. Also while the walls are very wide at the foot they narrow with height to give a cylindrical interior. it is probably therefore much later in date than the typical beehive doocot & likely to have once been a windmill base, converted to new use, as suggested by John Hume.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The partly rendered rubble walls roughly coursed have a high stringcoarse above which are the remains of what was once a ring of 17 flight holes below the eaves. The former conical slated roof is missing.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">There is a doorway on the east side & a window nearby. The floor is sunk. Most of the original 762 stone nest boxes remain & the potence is present but no longer in situ.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">While drinking my coffee it popped into my head that there were another couple of doocots local to me that I'd completely forgot about, so after having my bath I jumped into my van & drove to them to complete this blog post.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">"Stenton doocot"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The tower at Stenton is in fact free-standing, being all that's left of the 16th century church. (A later church now stands close by in the graveyard) This is the only church tower still used by pigeons. There are 6 flight holes with ledges in a wooden panel inserted into an arched aperture on the south side & five groups of twelve wooden nest boxes.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">"Hailes Castle doocot"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Hailes castle was founded by an Earl of Dunbar in the 13th century & passed through several hands before falling to Cromwell's troops in 1650. Subsequently nest boxes were built into the ruin & in some cases incised into the walls & about 300 remain.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So there you go, just some of the many doocots near to me where I live, now that Iv'e covered the ones closest to me I think I'll chuck the bike into my van soon & take a trip around some of the other doocots a bit further from home.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">09/05/2016</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Ever since I was a bairn of primary school age I had an early appreciation & love for pigeon doocots, the craftsmanship in their construction really captured me, but not until later in life did I understand their purpose.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">As a youngster I had a friend who's parents owned the Bourhouse mansion house & surrounding lands of which there is a doocot on the grounds, my friend & I used muck about inside the doocot climbing up the stone nesting boxes as high as we could trying to catch pigeons, gathering their eggs to throw at one another & using the doocot like an obstacle coarse trying to scale around all four walls without falling or touching the ground which was thick with dried pigeon poo !</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So the idea of this blog & more to follow is to share with you these amazingly crafted & useful buildings of the wealthy estate days here around East Lothian. The first blog covers the doocots of 'Nunraw', 'Papple', 'Ruchlaw', 'Drylawhill', 'Phantassie' & finally 'Friarscroft'.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">To understand the purpose of doocots, they were man-made shelters for domesticated doves/pigeons farmed primarily for their flesh & are among the oldest agricultural buildings in Scotland. For several centuries in Scotland the young birds were eaten as a delicacy & early household diaries record their arrival in the larder while cookbooks contain recipes for pies, roasts & stews. A by-product was the accumulated dung, a valuable source of nutrients before the introduction of chemical fertilisers, the gathered dung was also used in tanning leather.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Doocots were prestigious buildings, their erection generally the preserve of wealthy families & institutions.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">So setting off on my doocot quest I head for the hills up past Elmscleugh farm making my way to the first doocot on my list at Nunraw near the village of Garvald.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The mid morning sun was blazing & the sky was blue, it was a cracking day & probably the hottest day of the year so far.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Climbing higher & higher into the Lammermuir Hills the heat was so intense that already I was burning up & had drank about half of one of my two water bottles already. I'd been climbing upwards non stop from Innerwick but reaching Elmscleugh the massive steep hill from there is a real work out at the best of times & in this heat was a really hard going.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Arriving at the crest of the hill where the lowlands & coast come back into view you could feel the air change & the slight breeze which was most welcomed.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It's hard to make out with the haze in the distance & the camera never really captured the brilliant views from here.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">White Castle iron age hill fort in the above bottom three pictures, not much left to see other than the earth works where the ramparts once were, I wonder how the lay of the land has changed since the fort was occupied if it's changed much at all.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">After a little time sitting, eating, drinking & admiring the view I took off down the hill nearing my first doocot at Nunraw but I had to stop by these trees as I could hear a cuckoo very loudly which was in one of these trees, I waited a good ten to fifteen minutes trying to spot it but I never did see it, I could hear it & it could probably see me but it never gave away it's position ! Iv'e never seen a cuckoo in the wild before, I've heard them many a time but never actually seen one & I wasn't getting to see one today either :-(</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Nunraw Tower which until recently was owned by the Cistercian Monks which they used as a guest house for visitors to the Nunraw Abbey.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> The Tower with 24 bedrooms & 138 acres of land has recently been put up for sale & as the monks carry out a downsizing project for a mere £2m & I think at that price is just a token gesture of it's worth especially when you see the ridiculous prices of the quick erect horrible houses that are being thrown up in my local town of Dunbar.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I think the Tower has now been sold as when I was passing by en route to the doocot which is located a stones throw from the Tower there were dozens of work vans & workers everywhere & when I arrived they were all sitting about their vans having their dinner. It was clear to see that a massive renovation project was going on.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">"Nunraw doocot"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">And just my luck it was bad timing as the doocot was also being restored & covered in scaffolding ! All for the greater good though, I hate to see the doocots I'm familiar with deteriorating to a point where they are dangerous & beyond repair, I personally think they should all be restored as national treasures of our history, culture & heritage before it's too late as it already has been for many which have been destroyed. I 'borrowed' the bottom two pictures from Google to show you what the doocot looks like without a scaffold surrounding it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">And the history of Nunraw doocot:-</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Nunraw lands were granted to Cistercian nuns by MalcolmIV. The last three prioresses were Hepburns, and that family built a Z-plan tower in the late 16th century which was incorporated into a baronial mansion for the Hay family in the 1860's. The Cistercian order returned to Nunraw in 1946, this time the incumbents being monks.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The beehive style doocot was probably contemporaneous with the 16th century tower, and lies about 50m from the front of the 19th century mansion. It rises in four stages, the lower two of random rubble, the upper two of dressed stone, with the fourth set back. On top is a tall, relatively modern, hexagonal stone cupola looking, to some observers, more like a belfry than a glover.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The door, with a relieving arch, is on the south-east side, and there is one window. The second of the four stringcourses is interrupted on the south-west side by a wide alighting ledge, above which is a row of 24 flight holes. The floor is sunken, and the full complement of about 450 stone nest boxes is said to be intact. The unusual tapering shape and the change in masonry suggest that the upper part may have been re-built at some point. Apart from a little vegetation on the walls the doocot is in good repair.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Onwards & onwards I went now passing through Whittingehame, a place that holds a lot of good memories for me as a bairn I spent a lot of time up here with my Grandad as he worked on the estate.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">As I rode through under the shade of the mature trees the countryside smells changed, here the strong onion smell of the wild garlic emitting from the woodland floor was really potent.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">"Ruchlaw doocot"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">At one time the Ruchlaw lands belonged to the Earls of Dunbar. Archibald Sydserf, of a Norman familywhich had been in East Lothian since the 12th century, erectedan L-plan house in the early 17th century. This has since been extended in several stages, remaining in the family until 1950.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The large 17th century double lectern doocot is beside cottages, 250m from the mansion. It is built of random rubble, is substantially harled, buttressed to the west, and supports a low lean-to building on the north side. There are two stringcourses; the second is high up on the rear wall, returning briefly along the gables. The slated roof faces south & is interrupted by a horizontal row of 20 flight holes. There is no rear parapit, and the plain skewtabled gables run down with only one step. The partition wall does not break the roof. There is a modern rhone & down-pipe.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Ea ch chamber has a doorway in the front wall, an opening above, and a smaller opening approaching the eaves, all four openings have modern wooden louvres. There are variously reported to have been between 1300 & 1400 nest boxes starting abut 1m above floor level. As the doocot appears from the outside to be in a good state of repair these are possibly largely intact. There are however no pigeons.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">"Drylawhill doocot"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The 16th century doocot pre-dates the 18th century improvement farm on which it stands, perhaps being contemporary with the earlier mansion, some way off, which has now disappeared. It is of generously pointed random rubble sandstone with 2 stringcourses, and stands on a rock outcrop in a paddock about 60m from the present farmhouse. The slated conical roof is perhaps a replacement for a shallower stone slab room more typical of this type of doocot.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The three features of the south side, the iron-clad door, a row of 14 flight holes below the eaves, and a swept wooden dormer with 4 flight holes and landing ledge are not prfectly aligned with one another.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Most of the 600 stone nest boxes, starting 1.1m above ground level, have survived although some have been re-built in brick.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Despite a little encroachment of grass and other weeds, the doocot seems from the outside to be in quite good condition & it is still used by pigeons.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">"Phantassie doocot"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The prosperous farm of Phantassie was occupied by the Rennie family. John Rennie, the civil engineer, was born there in1761. His brother George was a leading agricultural improver and extended the 18th century farmhouse into a small mansion in 1820.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The 16th century doocot, an adjunct of an earlier estate, is in a field about 100m north of the farm outbuildings, and is in the care of the National Trust for Scotland. It's French influenced design is unusual for Scotland, taking the form of a beehive but with the top section cut away at an angle to give a steeply sloping one-way, south-facing roof enclosed by a horseshoe shaped parapet. It was restored about 1975.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">There are three stringcourses. Since an earlier restoration of the early 1960's, characterless harling has covered the random rubble walls.There are 16 flight holes in a row immediately below the eaves & above the top stringcourse, and a further 4 in a swept dormer near the roof apex with a wooden landing ledge below.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> There is a door on the west side. The floor is sunk, and the rows of about 550 stone nest boxes of varying sizes start over 1.5m above it. The potence, as restored, does not revolve but supports a wide central fixed ladder The doocot is in very good condition and is used by pigeons.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">"Friarscroft Doocot"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">A Trinitarian priory was founded in the 13th century by the Countess of Dunbar. The members of the order, the Red Friars, moved to Peebles in 1529, 30 years or so before the Reformation in Scotland. All that survives of the building is the tower, formaly between the nave & choir, with the connecting arches on either side of it filled in, though traces of skews of the previous roofs of the nave & choir are visible high up on the exterior of the gables. The tower was converted as a doocot & the date 1716 presumably records this. The main entrance is in the base of the tower, which is now surrounded by a small area of public parkland quite close to the centre of town.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The random rubble, red sandstone tower contains a single chamber. There are two slated, single-pitch roofs on the south side, one halfway up at a point where the tower narrows, the other set deeply between the gables. A row of 4 flight holes is sited below the eaves of the upper roof, with a ledge below & remains of a wire mechanism to control shutters in front of the holes. Formerly a further row of holes was sited half way up the lower roof.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The main doorway is at the tower base, and above it are 2 air vents accessing the substantial lower & the smaller upper tower, their size in proportion to the areas of pigeon accommodation they ventilate. Most of the 270 irregularly placed stone nest boxes set into the walls of the single chamber at both levels survive, And allegedly there was once a potence in the upper part. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The tower is in good repair & houses pigeons.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Leaving town & back up into the hills once more & homeward bound, skirting around Doon Hill riding along in a yellow sea of gorse bushes & fields of oil seed rape in dire need of some cool refreshments & some food to throw down my throat, I was fair keen to get back home it had been a long hot day !</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So that was "Part 1" of the doocot ride & "Part 2" I rode the next day it will follow shortly in blog form.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> After putting in a good few miles today on my Kona which I felt was strange to ride with it's narrow bars & 26" wheels ! Normally my 'go to' bikes are the Scott & Rocky Mountain, both wide bars & 27.5" wheels which says it all really if they are both my go to bikes why am I keeping hold of the Kona & the Giant which I use for long distance routes & camping expeditions ? So later on in the year I think I'll put them up for sale & replace them with another mountain bike of some sorts suitable for touring long distance routes.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Any way I hoped you enjoyed the ride around some of the local doocots, stay tuned for...</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">08/05/2016</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">After a long six nights of night shift I fancied a few hours at the Glentress trail centre down at Peebles in the Scottish Borders, I only ever manage to sleep for 4 or 5 hours when I'm on night shifts so after six nights I never had the energy to go for a long haul around my my local routes, a morning blast around GT was just the ticket & besides it was my eldest twins birthday so I had to be back home in the early afternoon anyway...</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Arriving at Glentress I decided to cycle up the trail path for a change, I normally like to just cycle up the fire road to access the trails quicker. The single track trail weaves it's way up through the pine trees with a couple of skills features such as log balance beams to keep you entertained on the way up.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Finally arriving at the freeride park which I had to myself, I had a wee play around for a half hour or so honing my airbourne skills, just wish the jumps were bigger...much bigger !</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> I'd love to see the Glentress trail fairies create a top to bottom big steep fast flowing free ride route with big berms, big gap jumps, big table tops & BIG airtime jumps, there's room for it the forest is massive.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">As I've mentioned in previous blog posts at each of the 7 stanes trail centres is a feature stane (stone) & here at Glentress we have the 'Meteorite Stane'.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The six ton Ledmore marble stane contains text carved in Klingon, with the obvious implication it may not be of this world !</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">One more wee thing I'd like to share with you, Iv'e driven past this stone many times on the way to Glentress & Innerleithen & always wondered what it's all about, located on the outskirts of Peebles it's simply known as 'the white stone' this is an ancient boundary stone of the burgh of Peebles, and in 1462 it was referred to as "The Quhyt Stane on the north half of the gat rekand to the Wenlaw" Work that one out I have no idea either !!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The stone was originally brought to the nearby area locked in & then deposited by a glacial flow.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Anyway that's that for today short & sweet as it was but the two days after this wee ride out at Glentress I put the miles in & cycled around my home area photographing all the pigeon doocots to make a blog post about them & their history, so look out for the next two posts titled :-</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Coming to another clearing a new wind turbine road caught my eye, it will be great once all the turbines are up & the construction side of things is finished as these turbine roads are like the equivalent of worm holes in space transporting you to great distances in a fraction of the time. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">But on the other hand look how much damage has been caused building that road, there must be hundreds if not thousands of tons of aggregate just to build it up that high which will be there for ever more now.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Not a nice sight to see on the path I was heading on, this recently deceased ewe dead in a muddy puddle, god knows why it died but as it's the lambing season there's a good chance it was a pregnancy complication as she looked healthy enough otherwise. It'takes the crows no time at all to peck out the eyeballs, I once say a crow pecking at a new born lambs eyes which was horrible to see as it was still alive at the time.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The Whiteadder river is a popular river for fly fishing by permit, I noticed a sign on a fence asking anglers not to enter the river if their equipment has been used abroad in the last seven days, the reason for this is that nets, waders & other fishing tackle if used in foreign waters which could have disease & or parasites which could jeopordise our wild native species of fish & aquatic life. A lot of the trout stillwater fisheries that I fish have facilities to dip your net & waders sterilising them.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Stopping for a wee look around Cranshaws church here in Cranshaws I was sure that one of my Grandads brothers was buried here but I couldn't find a grave with his name on it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The church first mentioned in 1275, possibly dedicated to St. Ninian, the 1739 church was rebuilt in 1899 by architect George Fortune in Romanesque Revival style. Contains royal coat-of -arms of 1471-1500, installed opposite the pulpit by James VI (1566-1625) who once attended and the minister omitted prayers to the monarch.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Well it's only been a short time since I promised myself not get back logged with blog posts again & what have I done !</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Spare time is something I don't have much of so new posts which take ages to do seem to always get put on the back burner :-/</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">However I'm doing it now so here goes.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">There was a new geocache hidden down at Hedderwick near to the John Muir Country Park so that was my plan for today to grab the cache, but I didn't fancy making my day just riding down the coast there & back so I thought I'd hit the hills & then drop down to sea level. I love cycling up hills for a good punishing workout on the legs & lungs, I can't be doing with flat level cycling it does nothing for me & I love being high looking down, so with a full drinks bottle & a couple of cereal bars I head for the hills on a grey damp morning.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> The moored ships looked weird from up here, they looked higher than I was, the sea was flat calm further out so they looked as if they were floating in the air...</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Cycling down the driveway from the big estate house to Spott village passing the estate doocot which has been restored to it's former glory, I have a real love of pigeon doocots & have got a rare & brilliant book about them that one of my daughters gave me one Christmas. There are a few different styles of doocot & each can vary slightly from others of the same type, this particular doocot is what's called a lectern doocot.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I'll leave it at that for now because this is not a bad idea for a future blog post, cycling around photographing the local doocots close to where I live & writing a little bit of history about them etc.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A few hundred yards east of Spott village is the witches stone, the script on the stone reads:-</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">THE WITCHES STONE OF SPOTT</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Marion Lillie, the Ringwoody W</span><span style="font-size: large;">itch</span><span style="font-size: large;"> was burnt here in 1698.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The stone is reputed to stand on the site of the burning of the last witch in South of Scotland.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Near to this site the Birley Tree stood, under whose branches the local Birley Court was held.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">People place coins & other items on the stone including me & my family we always have done but I'm not sure of the significance of this ? A right of passage or something I don't know but it's tradition :-/</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Often at certain times of the year there are more sinister offerings left on the stone, I once saw melted candle wax & incense sticks on the stone so I'm guessing that the practising of witchcraft is still present in this day & age.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">As I was bombing down Biel drive something caught my eye through the trees in the field, I stopped & stealthily sneaked through the bushes & trees to spot a white pheasant feeding along with a roe deer, I can't ever remember seeing a white pheasant before but I can imagine at an organised shoot day there would be a prize for bringing down a white pheasant, a bottle of sloe gin or the like to the successful gun.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">A little jaunt along the cycle path then back off road again as I near the coast.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">A fairly new & always improving attraction to the town is this wakeboarding centre called "Foxlake Adventures" it has many activities for families to partake in & it's good to see the place becoming more & more busy with thrill seeking customers, the lake is far bigger than the pictures suggest as it goes much further behind the trees.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The main attraction is obviously the wakeboarding but there is also ringo rides which are giant inflatables which you ride on & get towed up & down the lake, also there is a rope assault coarse over water called foxfall, frisbee golf through the stunning woodland & also an outdoor gym, segways & a cafe.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I have included a link below to the website. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">My reason for heading down this way was to find a new geocache which has recently been placed here, so armed with my GPS device I honed in on the co-ordinates & quickly found the hidden cache & I was pleased to find a geocoin inside the cache which I took & registered as well as logging my visit on the geocaching website that I have picked up the geocoin & will move it on to another location. Often you find what's called 'trackables' in geocache containers which can come from all over the world, some have missions like staying close to the sea or to be placed near historical landmarks etc or even there could be a matching pair that are in a race to reach a certain destination, I have a trackable of my own & I can follow it's travels to where it has been left in geocaches, at present it is in a place called Groditz in Germany & all in all has travelled 2304.9 miles.</span></div>

They're not my cup of tea as a house, too sterile, no space, small gardens, no character & too many people, but each to their own.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">It's been a while since Iv'e been on a mountain biking road trip & I have a game plan to bag as many munros (mountains) as I can by bike so with a weeks holiday from work I decided to add another munro to the 'bagged' list.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">My chosen munro today was Ben Chonzie located in Perthshire, not the most dramatic of the listed 282 Scottish munros as it's mainly a rocky track which then leads onto a boggy moorland trail ending up onto a fairly flat plateau at the summit all easily navigated & that's my reason for choosing this mountain as I could cycle a good way before hike'a'bike to the top & then I could enjoy the hard work of getting there by a high speed blast back down again.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Loading up the van with my bike gear & armed with a travel mug of hot coffee I set off for a two hour drive looking forward to the day ahead.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Looking back behind me I had already gained some good height using very little energy on the steady climb up the track.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Every time I go on a road trip I always check for geocaches on my chosen route, today there were a few to collect, I programme the geocache co-ordinates into my GPS device which then alert me when I'm near a cache, the alarm sounded to say one was near by which I found & signed the log book then replacing the cache back in it's hiding place ready for the next geocacher to find.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> Foolishly I never checked the battery life in my GPS device & no sooner had I found the first cache the low battery alarm sounded & the screen went blank...! I have a bad habit of not checking or re-charging batteries...doh !</span></div>

I plan to come back & do this mountain again some day but starting from the dam end of Loch Turret where a track follows the loch edge then there's a track up here to Ben Chonzie from here you can follow a circular loop across to Meall na Seide then onto Carn Chois then finally head back down to the dam end to finish the loop.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">After grabbing a quick few pictures it was time to get off this summit plateau. I'm not one for really feeling the cold but up here I was absolutely freezing & foolishly under dressed for mountain top weather, the wind chill had to of been in the minus double figures so I didn't hang around as long as I wanted to.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The biggest highlight of my day apart from bagging the munro was seeing this ptarmigan, it's the first one I've ever seen in the wild & it had no fear of me what so ever, it just stood there around 5 yards away & was quite happy for me to sit down & take a few pictures. It's moments like this that are special & make it all worth while. I was amazed at how it did not see me as a threat just like the snow buntings I saw at the top of BenMcDui but it may have never seen a human before so has nothing to be afraid off :-/</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I had a funny moment when I was heading down I was going that fast that I surprised a couple, the guy saw me & I saw him say something to a women crouching down behind a small hill then he manoeuvred himself to try hiding her dignity while she was sqatting doing a pee, I said hello but got a frosty stare & no return acknowledgement back from him heh heh, when you've got to go you've got to go :-/ either that or he was one of those fanatical hill walkers who think mountain bikers are just hooligans of the countryside !...</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">...anyway back to the story.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> The downhill ride back down the rocky track was awesome, really fast & you had to have your wits about you to negotiate the boulder strewn track then disaster struck...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">...as I was bombing down giving it what for a boulder flicked up smashing into my shin then proceeded to find it's way into my rear wheel breaking four spokes, three together & one a couple of spokes further back, I was gutted, for now I had to gently nurse my way back down slowly for the fear of doing more damage to the wheel :-( I was more bothered about my poor bike than my leg which looked like the Forth rail bridge with two huge lumps poking out.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Finally the last lazy late blog post this one from 8th of March & glad to of caught up with myself now & a mistake I'll not repeat, it's all too easy to say to myself I'll do it tomorrow...I'll do it tomorrow & before I knew it I'm way behind myself !</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Anyway for this ride out I took myself off down to the Tweed valley in the Scottish borders, a pure mountain biking mecca with so much choice of mountain biking disciplines for all ages & abilities.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My choice for the day was to cycle around the red graded route at Innerleithen, the last time I was here my chain snapped near the top of the Minch Moor hill so I missed out on a high speed ride back to the beginning & had to make do with free wheeling, so today I wanted to put that nightmare to bed !</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The red route is a long ride uphill through thick pine forests, fire roads & deforested open moorland nothing too strenuous but a good workout getting the legs pumping the blood around up to optimum performance ready for the return route reward back down the hill.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Riding up through the remains of a former pine forest the views were starting to open up, I often think that deforested areas look a real mess almost apocalyptic with the left over tree stumps & branches all dead, weathered & scattered all over the place but at the end of the day these pine forests were planted as a harvestable crop that takes around 40 to 50 years to become mature enough to harvest.</span></div>

I love this route but it's a seasonal route for me as normally the field has a herd of Aberdeen Angus cattle & for regular readers you will know my love affair with coo's is not that great.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">18th February & finally a break in the weather, gone are the storm force winds & the unrelenting rain for now & a decent sunny cold day perfect day for a ride out on the bike. I had no planned route in mind & just rode where I felt like & making the decisions when they arrived left, right or straight ahead, up, down whatever.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So off I went heading west out of the village & up to the Woodhall road.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Down to near enough the coast now as I passed through my old stomping ground of West Barns where I grew up.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> A memorable part of my childhood growing up here was the picture above where my bike is parked up against the wall, back in the early 1980's my friends & I were all into our BMX's & came down here to dig out a quarter pipe from the mud & grassy banking (there was no wall back then & the lay of the land was a lot different) armed with spades, shovels & picks we set about digging out our quarter pipe, making good progress I was hacking at the ground with a spade when I hit something hard & noticed it's odd shape, picking it up & picking off the compacted mud from it I quickly recognised it's familiar pineapple shape, it turns out that what I'd whacked into with the spade was an old WWII hand grenade...which had no pin in it !</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Being young & daft my friends & I tried our hardest to blow it up, holding on to it hitting it off a fence post, then placing it onto the said fence post & hitting it with our spades & shovels, throwing stones at it luckily to no avail. My mum & dad had friends round for a meal so me & my wisdom put the grenade into my pocket & cycled up to the house to show my dad who got the fright of his life ! He took it from me saying some choice words & gently placed it in the back garden then called the police who arrived at the house in no time at all, the police quickly agreeing it was a grenade then contacted the bomb disposal team who within around half an hour arrived at the house abandoning their motors in the middle of the street doors wide open & everything, blue lights flashing from the police escort, the village must of been wondering what the hell was going on as I always remember my dad saying that everyone from the village seems to be out for a walk tonight in their slippers !</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So the bomb disposal squad made safe the grenade by placing it in some sort of box which if mind serves me correctly was filled with sand, I then had to take them down to where we'd found it, they scanned the ground & surrounding area & found other explosive devices I think another seven I can't quite remember.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">They told us how lucky we had been not to be blown up & of been spread over the horse field next to us !</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I was gutted as they also told me that if it wasn't dark that they would of taken me down to the beach for a controlled explosion which I would of been allowed to push the button to blow it up but as it was now dark that they couldn't do it just in case anyone was in the vicinity so they would have to take the grenade & the other seven explosives away with them...gutted to say the least but at least we got the story of our tale in the local newspaper :-)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Although now an immature grown up if I was to ever find another one I think I'd still try blowing it up only not holding onto it or hitting it with shovels heh heh!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Another old iconic building that's due to be demolished sometime very soon as it's now in a state beyond repair.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Winterfield pavilion, created in the 1920's as a Pierrot stage for summer entertainment. One of the pictures above of the Zenith Entertainers (photographed in 1925) were one of several groups to appear at the pavilion in the 1920-30's. Despite their official name everybody knew them as the Pierrots.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The building was converted into a toilet & shower block in the 1960's to serve a static caravan park which has also long gone now & the pavilion has since been left to deteriorate to the point now of no return, a bit of a shame as it's an interesting looking building.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Dunbar boat the "Fisher Lassie" & I love the little picture of the women wearing the traditional costume of a long blue duffle jacket with wide sleeves, a blue petticoat usually tucked up so as to form a pocket & in order to show off their ample under petticoats of bright coloured woolen stripe reaching to the calf of the leg. The stripped upper petticoats were called 'drugget'. As the women carried loads of fish on their backs in creels supported by a broad leather belt resting forwards on the forehead, a thick napkin is the usual headdress with a broad frill edged with lace, a small shawl similar to that on the head encircle the neck & bosom, with thick worsted stockings & a pair of stout shoes complete the costume.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">Dunbar parish church, I remember vividly on the night of January 3rd 1987 a fire thought to of started in the church roof ravaged through the church leaving it to a sandstone shell. I remember standing watching it burn it was a very surreal sight to watch.

<span style="font-size: large;">Another blog a month behind :-/ this day out was on the last day of January & I still have another couple to do to keep up to date, so stick with me they will be done....eventually !!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We have had more than our fair share of big storms of late & this particular storm named "Gertrude" which hit our shores on January the 29th with wind speeds recorded at over 100mph in some parts of the country, here in East Lothian the wind hit us with gusts around 70mph causing a lot of damage to property, lorries were over turned on the roads & to make things worse the storm brought yet more heavy rain bringing misery to already flooded areas.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">A wee ride along the old decommissioned A1 trunk road where gates have had to be installed to try & deter the gypsy pack that seem to have made this a regular home for themselves every few months once they've pillaged & been moved on from their last site, not that these gates have made a lot of difference as now at the time of writing up this blog post they are back at this location again only now they are limited on how many can pitch up.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Over the fence into Barns Ness & as I rode down towards the light house & along the shore I spied a couple of bird watchers, this seems to be a favourite spot for twitchers searching for migratory winter birds & birds blown off coarse due to storms seeking refuge until the wild weather passes, recently there have been lots of sightings of "little auk's" a small bird which breed on islands up in the high Arctic, I was lucky enough to see some near Torness during the Christmas period.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Arriving at Skateraw & what's left of an old lifeboat station.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">In 1907 a second station was opened here at Skateraw to the south of near by Dunbar & was manned by members of the crew from Dunbar. The lifeboat which was stationed here was called the 'Sarah Kay'.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> In 1944 the lifeboat station at Skateraw was closed & the second lifeboat was withdrawn from Dunbar. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I can't believe some of the people that fish at the outflow from the power station, it's dangerous as it is with the speed the water flows back into the sea & often even in wild weather there will always be that one fisherman who has to get to an inch of the top of his chest waders, I'm really surprised nobody has been drowned down here, often there can be into double figures of anglers jostling for position & sometimes like today just a lone angler having the place to himself, one false move or rogue wave & woosh into the water & before anything can be done they would be washed out hundreds of yards.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Onwards to Thorntonloch beach, normally a pretty much deserted beach other than the odd dog walker, but today there were loads of folk randomly wandering around scratching & searching around the beach with purpose, as I got closer my nose got the better of me & I had to ask if there had been treasure washed ashore after the storm, but no I was informed that they were all looking for jasper stones. I met an old guy a year or two ago looking for this stone further along the coast.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">After a short blast down a muddy track I arrive in no time at all at Dunglass beach. There has been a bit of storm damage & a section of the rock face has fallen to the ground so I was eagerly looking for new lepidodendron fossils but there were no new ones amongst the fallen rock just the old ones that I'm familiar with & they're too big to move.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Lepidodendron also known as 'scale tree' is a tree like plant that were once part of the coal forests, reaching heights over 30 meters - (100ft) the trunks measured over 1 metre - (3.3 ft) in diameter. They thrived during the Carboniferous period about 359 -2.5 million years ago before becoming extinct.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The name Lepidodendron comes from the Greek lepido meaning scale & dendron meaning tree.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Making my way over to Aikengall the ground was a sponge with all the snow melt & rain which was slow going but it gave me plenty of time to soak up the views.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I need to start this blog with an apology, It's been waaaay too long since my last post & this particular ride was back in the middle of January & I still have another to upload from the last day in January which I'll need to get done as soon as. I could come out with the excuses of working extra hours & longer shifts at work during a factory shut down & another bad back for a week or so blah blah blah, but in all honesty Iv'e been a bit too lazy of late & need to drop a gear & get back to the business of biking !</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So anyway better late than never & for this ride out back in the middle of January there was a fair bit of snow on the higher ground along the Lammermuir Hills so I decided to head upwards with no real route choice in mind & just wanted to go where ever I felt like but yet again my road was blocked by my best friends the cows so about turning I had to go another way, but it was still all in a good late morning ride</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Bonnetty Knowe a hill on a local farm which I had permission to hunt rabbits with my ferrets, it was great fun & this hill was like Swiss cheese with the amount of rabbit holes in it which can do a lot of damage to livestock breaking their legs if the step into one of the many rabbit holes. Ferreting is a great field sport which I enjoyed a lot, it's done by identifying a rabbit warren then covering up all the rabbit holes with purse nets, then releasing a ferret or two into the bury to chase out the rabbits into the purse nets which would close around the rabbit as it bolted the hole capturing it. There is is a lot more to tell about the sport but this is the gist of it. At one point I had nearly 30 ferrets & polecats in a custom built shed with a big run for them to socialize, I kept mostly 'jills' which are the females, as I preferred the females for hunting with as they were small enough to pass through the purse nets without disturbing them too much, I was a great believer in using transmitter collars on my ferrets so that I could locate them underground & dig them out if they had rabbits holed up in a stop end (a rabbit tunnel that goes no where) & even with the transmitter collars they could pass through the nets no problem unlike the 'hobs' which are the males & are much much bigger than the jills. The males tend to kill more under ground then fall asleep once fed leaving you to try locating it & then dig him out !</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Anyway enough of ferreting, this blog is about cycling so lets get going it's getting cold !</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">A break in the trees allowed a decent view along the Birk Cleugh Hill with the Bothwell burn meandering along the bottom.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">From this elevated spot my planned route was a no go !</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Down below I spied a heard of cows feeding from a cattle trough which was right in the middle of the path & I needed to pass through this field, I didn't for one minute think that there would be any cows out in the fields at this time of year, so like a rabbit caught in the headlights I stopped & wondered what to do, I decided to keep going down the track to the gate into the cattle field & maybe with the lay of the land I could sneak by them & jump over the Bothwell burn to safety without being noticed !</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Well that was a plan not very well executed !</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> When I got down to the gate I thought if I could climb over the fence & down the banking, across the burn & over the fence on the other side while the cows were pre-occupied feeding. But looking down the banking the ground below was flooded & saturated so I could no way of out run the cows if they went onto the attack & just then I looked around to my side & there was two of the bovine terrors drinking from the burn who quickly stopped drinking when they saw me.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Stopping at the top of the hill over looking the dozens & dozens of turbines it was a very eerie feeling, not one turbine was turning as there was not even a breath of wind & it was so still that air had that icy cold feeling which just cuts right through you. Normally when the turbines are operating they make a sort of clattering sound as well as the sound of the air being swished with the turbine blades, I did hear some banging & spotted the hatch open at the top of one of them which was being worked on by the engineers.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">You can see the way the snow has blown into lines on some of the above pictures, these were once the irrigation channels from when it was once a thick pine forest, how times have changed from a harvestable crop of soft wood trees to a harvestable source of power.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">From the top of the hill it was a high speed blast downhill from above Elmscleugh back home to Innerwick where my bike was looking forward to a power wash & I was looking forward to a hot mug of coffee & a bag of beef flavoured crisps so that I in my mind could have the last laugh at those pesky coos today :-)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I have started up a new Facebook page called</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Mtb Innerwick Stravaiger</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> which will give notifications & new links to my blogs as well as some cool & random mountain biking videos & other bike related photos & videos that Iv'e shared. It's early days yet so not a lot of stuff on the page as of yet but please give it a thumbs up like & like a fine wine it will get better with age cheers.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Thanks for tagging along I hope you enjoyed the ride.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">It was the first heavy snowfall locally higher up in the Lammermuir Hills, we had a small dusting in Innerwick which was all gone by the morning & there was a covering still up behind Innerwick on the higher ground, so I had a the great thought of driving up to the Hopes & go for a ride up to the top of Lammer Law for some snow covered panoramic views at the summit of the Lammermuir Hills second highest hill.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The day did not turn out as planned !</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Wading through fairly deep snow & climbing uphill it was a real struggle but as I trudged onwards I soon could see the Hopes reservoir in all it's winter glory. The snow was around 4-6 inches deep & about knee height where it had drifted, it was very powdery snow, the type that cannot be compacted into snowballs.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Stopping to get a couple of pictures of the snowy Lammermuirs which looked flat today with everything blanketed under snow if only I had a couple of John Deere tyres on my bike I might of made it to the top.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">However it was nice to have been out in the snow albeit just for a little while, I love the snow & I think most folk revert back to their childhood when it snows, it certainly bring out the happy me anyway.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So I thank you for the visit & next time I'll plan my day a wee bitty better & get out for a decent cycle & get a few miles in !</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I could hardly believe my eyes at the carnage after the flooding caused by storm Frank which happened a couple of days after I was last here just after Christmas, then there had already been flooding but after storm Frank the flooding was the highest it had been for over one hundred years ! The river Tweed must be around 150-200 yards from the car park for the bike trails & going by the sheer amount of debris all around the car park it must of been of been easily under 3-4 foot deep of water !</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">We set off up the push up path towards our first chosen downhill trail called the "Matador".</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">There are four down hill trails here at Innerleithen called 'Matador', 'Cresta Run', 'Gold Run' & 'Make or Brake' aswell as the red graded cross country trail that I did with Davy the last time here. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">After what must of been nearly an hour of pushing the bikes up to the starting point of the downhill trails we reached a choice of routes, straight on for the Matador our first chosen route or turn right for the other three trails. What was quite concerning was the amount of branches & twigs we encountered on the path pushing up the hill & even a couple of fallen trees, so we were wondering what would be on the trail proper on the way back down :-/</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">As we pushed on another 50 yards or so to the start of the Matador, the ground was covered in super sludgy mud ! The rain has been so heavy over the last few weeks that the ground cannot cope with it any more so is well & truly water logged !</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I kept stopping to wait on John who never appeared at one point & I could not hear the squealing of his wet brakes so shouted up the hill to him but got no response, this section I just came down had big rocky sections & I thought the worst thinking he had come off, so off I climbed back up to see if he was ok ! He was no where to be seen so I kept climbing up the hill until I came to the fire road, still no John so I just assumed he took the fire road back down as he did say that it was a bit difficult for him not being used to this sort of biking terrain, so down I went again back to my bike so I could take off down the trail.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I arrived back at the car park after a brilliant blast down the downhill trail but there was no sign of John here at the bottom, I went back to my van to clean my goggles & have a quick bite to eat & drink, still no John starting to get a wee bitty concerned I phoned him only for it too ring out, trying again he this time answered to say he got lost somewhere on the fire road :-D finally he made it back to the van & we had a good laugh about it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">John was all for calling it a day soaking wet, muddy & disheartened & didn't relish the thought of pushing back up the to the top of the downhill trails again, I managed to talk him into giving a small section of the XC red trail a go, so we climbed uphill to the start of the 'Cadon Bank' which has a few good drop offs & some great jumps on the way back down the twisty woodland trail to the car park.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">As we climbed up the hill I stopped at a clearing of the trees to look in awe at the amount of flooding covering the Tweed valley below, it was so much worse than when I was here with Davy less than a week ago. The picture directly above you can see the river Tweed to the right of the picture & the bike trail car park to the left so it just goes to show how vast the flooding had been, the river is still very high & with more heavy rain forecast I would not be surprised if it floods again :-/ </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">A few days after Christmas my friend Davy & I travelled across into the Scottish Borders to have a day out at the Innerleithen mtb trails just along the road from Glentress. Glentress & Innerleithen are a combined part of the 7 Stanes mountain biking network in southern Scotland, so with all the Christmas calories to burn off we opted to give the XC red route a go with plenty of hill work to burn off some festive fat !</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">No sooner than we started to climb up the trail we soon came across some snow & by the looks of it there has been a fair covering here in the Tweed valley, we've had no snow what so ever next to the coast but there's plenty of time yet.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">There has been serious amounts of rainfall in the U.K. over the last few weeks it's been storm after storm with extensive flood damage caused throughout the country, luckily where I live we have escaped the worst of it, just really soaked & saturated ground, but here in the Tweed valley the river Tweed has burst it's banks & the water has risen to levels higher than it's been for over 100 years !</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As you can see from the above pictures we had great views from the trail path looking down towards the valley & everywhere is flooded, in fact the flooding got a lot worse a couple of days later when storm Frank hit our shores & caused more mayhem.</span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-bfYO5-ookiMZyiqxZd3AGuXo5RenjCzM41CiMd29GAsmxihUoj_KzySbzXgOYFZwtDWinG8BntF_vT0xE8cKW6vgb2HwjYpTX9kp32BG8Jbyy_vvwY4VoVqgU0v9JwyHiC46G3sU0WSi/s1600/IMG_3892.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-bfYO5-ookiMZyiqxZd3AGuXo5RenjCzM41CiMd29GAsmxihUoj_KzySbzXgOYFZwtDWinG8BntF_vT0xE8cKW6vgb2HwjYpTX9kp32BG8Jbyy_vvwY4VoVqgU0v9JwyHiC46G3sU0WSi/s400/IMG_3892.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Well another eventful year almost gone with some great days out & about.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Looking back on the years travels I'd have to say the highlights of the year would have to be cycling & wild camping along the Rob Roy Way, a fantastic & under rated route in my opinion which is not overly popular, so seeing anyone else was pretty much limited to when I passed through villages & towns, the isolation factor was right up my street, the stunning views of mountains, forests, wildlife, lochs & rivers as I rode along & the smell of a camp fire to the the smell of the damp mornings always feels primitive & wild, the whole experience was a sheer joy to have accomplished. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">My annual family holiday to Aviemore riding the Laggan Wolftrax trail centre & what was the holiday highlight cycling up to the 2nd & 6th highest mountains in the country was a real adventure, as the sun was setting the magnificent late summer colours at the top of Cairngorm mountain will stay with me forever, the orange & red skies bouncing off the craggy mountain slopes creating amazing shadows was an awesome sight to see.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So there we are that's the last blog post for 2015, I hope you've enjoyed riding along with me on my travels & now it's time to start planning for some new adventures in 2016 :-)</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Well it's only a couple of days until the big man in red lands on our roofs & drops down our lums hopefully with lots of bike related gifts. So with lots of Christmas preparations to do, over excited bairns & work I don't seem to have much time for going out biking at the moment but I made time for just a wee local ride out to source which fields still have brussels sprouts in them for a night time raid !</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Not exactly a nice Christmas winter scene at the moment but more of a damp wet muddy one. Recently the weather here in south east of Scotland has been rain, rain more rain & strong winds & very unusual for the time of year it has been warm & mild.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Around the vicinity of my home there are always loads of sprout fields & at this time of year being so close to Christmas the sprout harvesters like these ones are really going hammer & tongs to keep up with the demand. It normally takes a few days to harvest the field so this was my chosen field for a night time raid to pinch a couple of stocks for my Xmas table & my chickens.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Down here at Skateraw out at Chapel Point is a memorial dedicated to 6 boys from the St.Giles Boys Club, Edinburgh ( later the Cannongate Boys Club ) they lost their lives fighting in WWII, the boys loved to camp here at Skateraw. The memorial was re-erected in 1980 by members of the Cannongate Boys Club in memory of the founder warden, The Very Rev Dr Ronald Selby Wright, with whom many of the boys camped here on these shores at Skateraw.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Now down onto the coastal path which goes around the power station & there were half a dozen cormorants sitting basking on the docking pillars. These birds are amazing hunters, being a fly fisherman myself I often see cormorants targeting the trout fisheries where I fish, spotting them more so in the winter months when the sea is rough, once they're under water they're up again in no time with a trout in their beak, and I've seen trout in the region of 2lb turned in their beaks & swallowed head first whole ! Their stomach acid must kill the fish instantly as a fish of that weight is solid muscle & very strong which I reckon must be the same weight if not heavier that the bird itself so a quick dispatch must be critical for the sake of the birds own well being.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">At the lifeboat dock the low winter sun was casting a nice light onto the concrete dolos.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">17,000 of these blocks were made here at Torness, this system was developed in Africa & originates from the word 'dolosse' meaning the animal knucklebones used by Kaffir witch doctors in divining.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">There are two types of dolos at Torness, weighing in at 5.4 tons for the wall itself & the larger 13 ton blocks for the breakwater. Their distinctive shape dissipates wave energy five times as effectively as rock of the same weight.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Passing the water outlet as the spent water used for cooling re-enters the sea 10 degrees hotter than it went in, no fishermen here today unusually, there's normally at least a couple of folk fishing here at any time of the year fishing for mullet.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">As I approached the eastern side of Torness with Thorntonloch beach coming into view there was a fog further along the coast on the beach where the fresh water Thornton burn enters the sea, it looked really eerie & I think it must have been caused by the water temperature difference from the warmer fresh water to the cooler sea water.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Another sprout field but this one has already been picked, all that remains are the sprout stocks & leaves which the sheep make short work of, that's if the strong winds we are getting at the moment don't blow all the leaves out of the field first & some of the hedges already look like Christmas trees with sprout leaves as baubles. I love the smell of freshly harvested sprout fields as well as turnip fields, I think on the other hand that the smell the sheep will be releasing from their rear end with all those sprouts might be not so pleasant though :-/</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Straying from the country roads to a little rat run I like to use & even at this time of year nature can produce a warmth of hedgerow colour with the bright red berries from the holly & the sunny yellow flowers on the gorse bushes.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">It's been a wee while since I've been out & about on the bike, rubbish weather, the wrong shift when the weather is nice the usual unfortunate luck, but finally the weather on my day off played ball for me just for once so I made haste my escape to the hills which were calling me.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I have most of the geocaches & trig points local to me but there was one of each within a fairly close proximity to each other that were on my radar, so I made this my mission of the day to grab a geocache & a trig point</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Fond memories as I cycled up towards my old house at Weatherly, a journey I took many times in all sorts of weathers, we used to get snowed in often one time for eight days solid & after 15 years since we lived up here it still feels like home & is often a topic of conversation within my clan.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">When I arrived at Weatherly the current tennant was outside in the yard so I stopped for a blether & we exchanged stories of living life at Weatherly & I asked her if all the cattle had been moved onto the landlords lowland farm for the winter which she replied 'yes' :-) so now I knew I could have a trouble free climb up the pylon road to the wind farm & all through winter too without attracting any bovine attention !</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It's an unrelenting climb up to the top but well worth it for the views, looking over to Boonslie ruin I could see cows which belonged to the adjoining farm, fortunately today I was not heading in that direction.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Passing by the old ruined shepherds cottage on the slopes of Bransly Hill I had a passing thought if the people who once lived there were to come back & see all these wind turbines & pylons what would they think :-/ </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It just seems to be a never ending project up here building & maintaining the wind turbines & the amount of litter by the roadside from the workers just throwing it out their van windows is quite unbelievable ! Empty cans of juice, old newspapers, sweet wrappers & crisp packets etc etc.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">After a short cycle along a road I took a left turn up a track then onto a boggy gamekeepers track then I soon arrived at the 'Nine Stone' stone circle.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The Nine Stone stone circle is a compact circle, most of the stones have fallen but even when they were upright the circle was not large. One of the stones has a square shape cut into it. There is a tradition that treasure is concealed in the centre of the Nine Stones & the ground has been much disturbed by people digging for it in the past.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Aerial archaeological evidence shows that a row of Bronze Age homes once ran south down the flank of the hill towards Nine Stones & that there were once other circles nearby (a little further west you can find one of these still in place - the "Crow Stones" - but if the heather is in full growth this circle can be concealed.)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It seems likely that the circles, including Nine Stones were associated with the settlement & served some communal purpose. Small circles of 9 (sometimes 12) stones like these are common features of the period in Britain. Some theories suggest that the mixture of sizes of stone is important - a larger stone is sometimes found orientated north in the circle. Some theories associate sexual symbolism with the mixture of larger & smaller stones. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The reason for the visit here was to collect the geocache hidden beneath the stone with the square cut gouged out of it, at first I thought it was obvious where it was hidden behind the two propped up stones but I was more than surprised to find a fenn trap behind them, so I'm glad I looked behind them before I put my hand in ! Thinking that the geocache had been compromised by the gamekeeper I had a look around the other side of the stone to find the geocache safely hidden underneath the stone concealed by some long grass.So signing the log book I replaced it back where I found it ready for the next geocacher to find.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Happy with my find of both the geocache & the Nine Stone circle I set off for my next goal, the trig point of Rangely Kip.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">There are lots of grouse shooting butts up here & all over the Lammermuir Hills with all the heather it is the perfect habitat for grouse & you can see how well the shooting butts are hidden & blend into the surrounding countryside.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Back onto the single track public road I cycled along for a few hundred yards to the entrance of Johnscleugh hill farm. Looking how to get to Rangely Kip the night before on maps I could not see a clear cut way to reach the summit where the trig point is, so I thought if I get to Johnscleugh farm entrance & head straight up to the summit...</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">...this was not the best decision that I've made ! Apart from the fact that I kept startling grouse which would let you almost stand on top of them before flying up into the air, it was a real toil bog trotting through the heather & the sodden waterlogged ground uphill for probably half to three quarters of a mile, but no-one ever said hard work was easy & eventually the trig on the top came into sight. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Contented with my day so far & mission accomplished, a geocache & a trig point I set off for home. Taking a different route back following a sheep trail I came across a fox snare & another horrible fenn trap, so being the wildlife lover & tree hugger that I am I set off the fenn trap with a stick & pulled the fox snare tight :-) These barbaric devices were about 20-30 yards from the trig point, dead hare's & dead grouse & I now think that they were placed there purposely by the game keeper to attract Mr. Fox to his doom since they looked so un-natural the way they were killed & placed.</span></div>
