Walking
Loch Tay
It has been very windy today – enough to put waves on the loch.
I did get out and walk but because of the weather my plan to try out my new pocket stove did not happen.
More photos from North Berwick
The rain did slow to a drizzle after breakfast, so I set out to walk some of the beaches, coast and areas around North Berwick. Of course I picked up several geocaches and photos along the way.

Walking – Lauder
Having been on the phone early for work and the weather looking wet and grey, I decided to walk the local paths around Lauder.
Eventually the rain sent me back for coffee and then back to the campsite.

John o’ Groats and Wick
We headed north today – all the way north.

We walked out along the coast, leaving the tourist area behind. There were even two caches along our route – the most northerly mainland caches.

Wick
We stopped here mainly to eat, but we also visited the “shortest street”
Ebenezer Place was built in 1883 and measures only 6 ft 9 in (2.06 m) long. It has only one address: No 1.
It was also the location of our last geocache of this holiday.

Yachts in the Caledonian Canal Locks
These are the locks leading to the Loch.
It was a walking trip around Inverness today, looking for geocaches. We found one that we had searched for with no success last year – it was a camouflaged cache, actually in plain sight.

Forest walking and geocaching
We drove to Glenurquhart Forest using the A833, rather than via Inverness, as the day was good enough to get the hood down on the MX-5 and it is a much more exciting drive.
Once there it was a great place to walk, have our lunch, brew some tea and we scored several caches as well.
We did drive back along Loch Ness.
