Wednesday : Overcast Getting woken up early by kids yelling isn't the way I usually like being woken up, and its been happening a lot lately too. It probably was for the best as we had a big day on the road in front of us. We were heading over to Skye for a look and some lunch then up to the north west highlands. We got packed and then had a nice somehow quiet breakfast in the timber kitchen, and we were on the road by 8:30. Nice drive this morning very quiet o...

Tuesday : Sunny, then storms We woke up to a gorgeous Edinburgh morning. Beautiful blue skies! After a nice breaky we were back on the road, and apparently there isn't a peak hour in Edinburgh either. We were straight through the city and before we knew it driving past Glasgow to out first stop Loch Lamond . Where we were naughty and picked up some Maccas cheeseburgers to have by the loch. Hmm it's been awhile! Loch Lamond is Scotland's largest loch, the northe...

Monday : overcast and rain Had a bit of a lay in today which was nice. After breakfast we walked through a park on the way up to Edinburgh Castle.

Once through the gates which no one has ever been able to get through by force, you have some medieval st...

Sunday : Storms then overcast Look who's back!

Our first stop was in a village called Brampton, well we thought we had the right Brampton. We were looking for parts of Hadrian's wall (the northernmost point of the Roman empire) and we were in the wrong town. Our book said that one of the best parts to s...

Saturday : overcast Very happy about the decision to go for a walk yesterday afternoon, because the clouds rolled in over night. We both had a pretty good sleep and after breakfast we jumped in the Kia and headed back into the Lake District. After an unsuccessful stop in the tourist information office, not finding any free maps, Kim went back online and found another walk. It was in the same central west region as where we were yesterday, but on the other side...
