TRAINING - WALK 3 - Tinto Hill - 18th Sept 2013

A favourite wee hill for me and the terriers. A frequent haunt of mine. But Alan was a Tinto Hill virgin. Well no more, we reached the top in under an hour. Very impressed, especially  since it was sooooo windy, and fairly chilly, but thankfully no rain.
And Alan, it's not my fault they closed, completely demolished and removed any trace of the pub with the pink elephant barmaid.

Up yonder distant hill.....

Peak 2

Hide the death stare and smile please....??

Cold and very windy...brrrrr!!!!

You can pick your next hill from the top.

Bag Pack, ASDA Larkhall, 14th September 2013

Army Cadets from 1 Pl RSB generously agreed to give their time and half of their hard earned detachment funds to assist their totally bonkers Sgt Instructor to get nearer to her fundraising target. Your time and hard work is very much appreciated by me and £277.75 was raised for Yorkhill Hospital. WooHoo and Thank You :o)

 

TRAINING - WALK 2 - Cochno Hill - 10th Sept 2013

Cochno Hill - well what can I (Mhairi) say?? Don't let me navigate might be a good start. So over a few fences, managed to outskirt a field of horses, but couldn't avoid the thorny bushes (ouch) before hitting the right path. Sorry Alan, but you had a map too.....lol
A longer more up and down route, passing a few reservoirs and a fantastic outlook over Glasgow city, but we made it with light fading fast. A quick walk back down, and a where the hell is the car moment and a huge sign of relief breathed on locating it in the pitch black. :o)

Cake Sale - SRUC/Roslin - 5th Sept 2013

Cakes....Cakes....Cakes......a humongous £439.96 was raised from selling a fantastic selection of home baking. The pictures to follow do not do the cakes or this cake sale any justice (my poor photography, and the fact that I had buyers before I had all the cakes in from the car). A great big huge thank you to everyone who baked, a fantastic effort from some very talented bakers. And to all those who enjoyed eating cake, just remember there are no calories in cake bought for the benefit of a charity. Your donations are very much appreciated. Thanks to all. :o)

Buy...Buy...Buy...

Two awesome cakes for raffle!!

Depleting Stock....

TRAINING - WALK 1 - The Whangie & Auchineden Hill - 3rd Sept 2013

Soooo.........since we are going for a wee stroll up the biggest mountain in the world, we thought it was time to start hoofing it out and about. First walk done, only a wee short, not too steep one to start.........but training is underway. Yay!!! :o)

View towards Loch Lomond

Fresh as a daisy....

Wanted a piggy back from here....

Great pic of the top of the trig point :o)
