The Moray Way and Ben Macdui Trail - Guide Book
17/11/2011 by admin.
The Moray Book is finally published quite a few months eariler then expected. As discussed in eariler post this book about two long distance hikes within Moray, Scotland. It contains maps, loads of photos plus loads of infomation about the routes and Morays history, not forgetting details about the superb landscape the walks take you through - from pristine beaches, fertile lowlands, rivers jumping with salmon to high breas full of illicit whisky lore and finally onto some of the highest mountains in the UK.
Not avaliable from amazon yet - it is from my publisher here, or look on my book web page here and click on the ‘Moray way’ icon for more details.

Beinn a ghlo above Blair Atholl
17/11/2011 by admin.
Do not know why but as I drove down the A9 on a -5 cold early Sunday morning to atholl, unheeded by any cars (a miracle) I was feeling guilty. Guilty of nothing in particular, just the usual married man stuff , of me going off for some fun while the family are stuck at home sort of guilty. It could be that just because today was the first in many months when it did not rain or was very windy but then again my days of taking them places does seem to be over, as they would rather ‘hang’ with mates then parents now. It is the ‘Can’t live the parent’s day’ I am really waiting for, feels like it will never arrive. But back to the guilt stuff, don’t know if anyone else ever feels it, but if today was guilty day for all walkers then I saw at least another 20 odd cars around parked in the going munroing places, so I guess I’m not totally alone.

Lochnagar
17/11/2011 by admin.
Lochnagar – it is quite a funny name when you look into it, for a start, reading it as it is you get the impression that perhaps the name came from an old Giza who once lived in a wee cottage by loch Muick, who was perhaps feared due to having an ability to moan people to death or nag. Whereas if you look at its Gaelic meaning ‘Hill of laughter or noise’ you get the impression of an old Giza who lived in a wee cottage by Loch Muick who was perhaps a bit of a comedian and had the ability to lighten the hardiest of moments.
