Today’s hike was a meander below and above Stoos. #hiking #Switzerland (My identification of many of the peaks is just guesswork.)

A dull day today, so instead of my usual Thursday hike I had a wee stroll. I was rewarded by seeing this heron in Braidburn Valley Park. #Edinburgh

A lovely day for a walk in the #Pentlands I started in Carlops, diverted into Windy Gowl, ascended Mount Maw (wind and snowdrifts made this tough) and am now enjoying a pint in The Gordon Arms in West Linton #hiking #Scotland
