Sat 9th May Today I planned to progress onto Oban. I was up at a reasonable time and set off at my usual 10am. I set my satnav for a parking layby on the way into Oban that I wanted to check out as a possible night stop. After the short journey I pulled into …
Fri 8th May I tried to have a decent wake up today, which usually means leaving at about 9.30am, and I managed to achieve. I’d planned to move on along the main road and drop in at Arduaine Gardens, which was a National Trust site. As I arrived at the site a fleet of Lotus …
Thurs 7th May After the beaver walk last night, I returned to the Moine Mhor car park. On waking this morning, the sun was nice and warming, but I didn’t really fancy getting up early. I hadn’t made any specific plans for the day. I knew I should probably move on to the next place …
Wed 6th May Last night I booked a Beaver Walk for today, but it wasn’t until 7pm, so I had a day to fill before then. I realised I needed some milk and could do with some other supplies like some veg and chocolate and wasn’t sure there would be many places before Oban, and …
Tues 5th May Today I woke up later than expected. I had considered getting up earlier and going for another jog but was also planning to go for a walk around the wood that I had parked next to, so all was not lost. It was a lovely sunny morning and was pretty seeing the …
Mon 4th May I stopped at Ashley’s boat for a day of catching up on washing and admin yesterday, and today was another cold wake up on the boat, but I planned to go for a run this morning. I had bought my new trainers before I started the trip in the view to start …
Sat 2nd May Last night I had made a rough plan in my head for what to do today. I would try to wake early, walk down to Kings Caves and back again, then head off on a ride to Lochranza and back again. I aimed to get the ferry back to Claonaig at 3.45pm, …
Fri 1st May Well, I could certainly tell I’d been for a walk yesterday. Sitting up was ok, but as soon as I used the muscles in my legs, I was stiff and achy, and not just a dull ache. I could hardly get down on my knees and then get back up. My knees …
Thurs 30th April I woke to a beautiful sunrise over the Firth of Clyde this morning, in my park up on the sea front. I had wanted to be up and driving to the car park up the road by 7.45am, but I think I was slightly behind, as usual. A bright pink ‘The Decaffeinated …
Wed 29th April Starting off in Campbeltown this morning I wanted to get off reasonably early as I was due to get the ferry to Isle of Arran. I didn’t have a set time ticket but wanted to make sure I was there at a reasonable hour, so I wasn’t rushing to find a park …
