Walks

[King Street Loon]

Seeing as it was a beautiful day I decided to drop some stuff of at the folks house in Blackburn then take the Dog a walk in Kirkhill Forest.

He enjoys a walk off the lead in the Forest and seeing as I'd been away for 3 weeks I decided to get him out for an extra long walk. We drove over the back road from Blackburn to Dyce and parked up in the Kirkhill Forest East Woodlands carpark.

Walked through and eventually came out on the hill overlooking Dyce Industrial Eastate and The airport.

Even found markers for the Shell E&P pipeline which runs past the forest.

Also found a Bronze Age stone Circle which was quite cool to see close up.

Love taking the dog into the forest as it's good to get out and about especially on days like today.

There's plenty to do in the Tyrebagger Forest too. All the sculptures to find and see.

 

What's your favourite walk n Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire or the area in which you live?

Just your bog standard walk really, sometimes add a little bit of swag in it.

We spent many an evening on that path, probably still remnants of our old rope tree swings. Good times.

The beach at the Bridge of Don side is a hidden gem, great for walking the dog.

 

Kirkhill forest as mentioned is also good.

Balmedie right along to the mouth of the Don - great walk.

 

Also up by Fochabers - along the riverbank - nice walk there. Quite like going up by a place called Wall o Kirk (up by Huntly) - some great views and a cracking walk.

I'm a man of many talents who does everything at 100mph.

 

I can fit a lot into a day, I feel obliged to, as there are only so many of them for which I will exist.

 

Anyone who lazes about wasting time is as well being dead.

 

This includes TV watchers, facebook users, people who like a 'long lie', pathetic types who just do not have the energy to keep coming back for more of whatever life can throw at you. If that's your attitude, why bother existing?

 

I'm never tired.

The Jibberie Wallie will do me for an early morning get it together and oxygenating the bloodstream...especially after the liberal consumption of alcohol the night before.

 

We did a coastal path walk at Newburgh yesterday and fed the ducks....before lunch.

 

Used to enjoy walks up the River Dee at Banchory in my youth and the occasional trip up Scolty.

 

Rannoch Moor can be a bittie bleek if not fair weather but has it's own aesthetic.

 

Schiehallion translates as the 'magic mountain' and with good reason - round trip from bottom to top and down again in five hours - tak a piece wi' ye.

 

Then there's the 'Spanish Stroll' :
