The Birks of Aberfeldy
I drove into Aberfeldy today – my car has sat in the car park since Saturday at minus temperatures so I thought I had better de-ice it. I also needed to get a reliable phone signal as my iPhone SIM had developed a fault and I needed T-mobile to fix it. This also meant I could get a latte and walk out to the Birks of Aberfeldy just outside the village.
Robert Burns walked here.

Tay Forest pt2
The sunny day gave some great views and added extra highlights to the snow shots. Many of the paths though were really muddy – and some would be best described as streams – it shows how much rain there has been.

I had lunch at the Black Rock view point – above the view at lunch
there was a lot of logging activity in the forest – it meant changing my planned route several times but it did supply some material to photograph
I could not post this last night as I had no 3G signal and I have given up on Diamond Resort’s Swisscom Internet. At first I put it down to local conditions but as it persisted this morning I called T-mobile, free from my phone (150), to see if they could help. I had to then pay a reasonable 25p to talk to the support staff but after a couple of minutes discussing the issue with him, he updated the service to my phone – I rebooted it – and it was back on 3G. I have no idea why this happened but the help I got from T-mobile was first class – and I was pleased to let them know this via the text they later sent me.
Tay Forest pt1
I planned a walk today out along the River Tay and back through the forest, but had to make several changes on the forest section because of tree felling.
It had snowed whilst I was having my breakfast but the day turned sunny and cold.
Walk along Loch Tay – tea break
As followed the route along the Loch there was a convenient picnic area for a tea break.
I carry the meths bottle in an outside mesh pocket, on my rucksack, which meant I did struggle to light the meths as it was very cold.
Here is the view from my cafe – menu, fresh hot tea with custard creams.
