A wee walk

This site has blogs from Brian and Martina’s trips in the great outdoors but mostly our longer walking trips. We have done 4 multi-month hikes in the USA over the years and there is a blog of each here.

Plus lots of other stuff including Canada, Alaska, Britain and the rest of Europe and further afield including Austria, Spain, Jordan, the canyons and desert of south west USA…There are some sea kayaking posts too. You can see all of these from the menu.

We stay in the village of Fortrose, Scotland near to the highlands, home of some great mountains, coastal and island scenery which we regularly visit including climbing, camping, sea kayaking, hiking and a bit of sheep farming as well. The photos link on the menu has plenty from both Scotland and abroad.
