Coniston
We made it to Coniston – and before setting off we thought we had better try the Bluebird Bitter, brewed here at The Black Bull Inn.

Backpacking this weekend
I had been planning to walk to Woodhall Spa this weekend, but following the BBC weather forecast yesterday I quickly changed my plans to a trip to the Lake District.
So the plan is to climb the Old Man of Coniston and then find somewhere to camp tonight.
We left Lincoln at about 4.30am and have now stopped in Lancaster. This gives Richard a chance to reset the multiple controls on his G12.
As with all good walking trips this one features an English Breakfast.

Time to go home
We have had to shorten our trip – so we are off back to Lincoln today – via Braemar and Jedburgh.
It was rainy.
There was a sculpture at point where I took this photo.
These shots were taken on the road between Braemar and Perth.
The Border
…but it was raining too hard to get out!

Cloddymoss and Clubin
Cloddymoss and Clubin is an area of coastal forest just east of Nairn and on the Moray Firth. We spent the afternoon walking some of the tracks there – and having lunch.
this represents the village of Clubin which was buried by the sand dunes
Our walk took in the “Dragonfly Pool” – where we saw several very colourful Dragonflies darting around.
…and the dragonflies.
