Logbook

My logbook is a list of things I've done, usually related to outdoor activites and adventures.

Inchcailloch Jul 30, 2024
Finally got Carter on the wee ferry (Margaret) over to Inchcailloch for a wander with my mum. We splashed about the water, chasing the minnows and explored the island. Weather was great and we all had a lovely day.
Glen Loin Loop Jan 7, 2024
Great day out as usual. Glen Loin Loop at Arrochar, lovely cold day with cracking views.
Conic Hill Jan 2, 2024
Wee jaunt up Conic Hill with Jack Pat. Weather wasn't great but we had a good time.
100 mile cycle around Isle of Cumbrae Sep 16, 2023
Great day out as usual. This was our third trip to Cumbrae in 3 years to raise money for the STV Childrens Appeal. I managed 10 laps of the island (100 miles) in just over 7 hours. Excellent film photos by Max.
Cycling the Great Glen Way Jul 30, 2022
Some photos from a weekend gravel cycling in the Scottish Highlands.
Camping at Loch Ossian (Corrour) May 14, 2022

A strangely snowless ascent of Ben Vorlich in January.
Kinlochleven to Fort William Aug 1, 2021
Second of three days on the West Highland Way with Eejas, Craig and Grant. The descent into Kinlochleven is brutal.

Second of three days on the West Highland Way with Eejas, Craig and Grant. The descent into Kinlochleven is brutal.
Crianlarich to Inveroran Jul 30, 2021
First of three days on the West Highland Way with Eejas, Craig and Grant. Weather was good, not too warm and the midges were fine. Slight drizzle getting into Inveroran but nothing major.

First time solo ascent up Ben Lui. Boggy and snowy but bloody brilliant.
Ben Dorain Sep 18, 2020
Ben Dorain had been on my radar since I first seen it while driving the A82. Great mountain but a roasting hot day.
