Pizza, Ice-Cream and Fudge

As an early birthday treat we took Hannah out for pizza at Pizza Express then visited the Italian Ice Cream parlour on the royal mile and then bought a small crate of fudge at the fudge shop. Heaven!

Gifford Gardens


For Cherry's day out we went to the open gardens day in Gifford. Weather was a bit overcast but we still enjoyed a pleasant stroll around some nice domestic gardens.

Craig Leacach 987m




Everyone set off early for Glenshee to try to get everyone up a munro. The weather was fine with bright sunshine and temperates in the valleys of around 18 degrees.

The Glenshee carpark is quite high so the ascents were not too great but there was a fairly long walk along the ridge with some very rough boulder strewm ground near the summit.

Everyone did very well with Hannah and Cherry ticking off their first munro after around 2 hrs 45 minutes of walking.

Total time was around 4 hrs 40 minutes, 7 miles and ascent of 600m according to GPS.
