It has been a brilliant weekend. On Friday I had a lovely meal at Heather and Ewan's, and then, as I love Perthshire and I love Guay, I was delighted to be back there on Saturday for a D of E walk. I definitely feel fitter than I did six months ago and made good speed up to Loch Ordie. I had arrived before the rest of the group because I travelled straight from home, so I went up the hill by myself and it was very peaceful. I enjoyed looking at all the scenery (my favourite "The Shire" view!) and talking to the sheep. No matter how reassuring I tried to be they still ran off in a panic as I went up the path, and then stared at me reproachfully from a distance.
I relaxed at the Loch and then met up with Shona and Carolyn, and we check pointed the pupils. We had a fun chat, it was great to have time to sit down and catch up in the news because I have been so busy lately. John and Kenny had accidentally walked a much longer route than they intended and they were exhausted by the time we met them! When we got back to the lodge I had a refreshing shower and then we sat outside and chatted some more. Things got a bit too lively at the campsite and words had to be had with some of the pupils, but eventually everyone settled down and after a pleasant evening I had a great sleep. On the way south today I put on my music and sang all the way home!
David went to the new Cathkin Braes mountain bike track on Saturday with Stuart and his Dad and he loved it. It has been built for next year's Commonwealth Games and has recently opened to the public. He says that there are different grades of track and that the red routes are very tough. This evening we rounded off the weekend with dinner at - guess where? - yes of course it had to be TFI Fridays!
