#Gairn
A very interesting sign of the times here with an opinion piece from Noah Gairn of True North Strategic Review, which is unironically one of the best publications out there for keeping up with the CAF and Canada’s defence industry. Noah is a strong “nothing ever happens“ type, but even he’s spooked.

Bit of an odd encounter all the way up Glen Gairn this morning. A weirdly unflappable barn owl - it was just a couple of metres from me to start off with, as I surprised it as I cycled around a corner. It sat there for 10 seconds or so but it then flew to this safe distance and watched me.

Big 9hr jaunt up Ben Avon today.....with 22km of cycling and 20km of walking. There's nothing quite like getting back to your bike after a long walk on a big hill and knowing your feet will be getting a rest. The pedal out of Glen Gairn was sooooooo nice! 🙂

Beautiful cycle into Glen Gairn, early this morning. Just above freezing, and absolutely no breeze whatsoever. On my way to slog up Brown Cow Hill before the sun retreated and the rain arrived.

Very true- it‘s still very early days. Noah Gairn from True North Strategic Review has been very vocal recently about how fast these sorts of things can realistically happen. I am choosing to remain cautiously optimistic and give Carney enough rope to hang himself before I write him off.

I was on the lookout for adders today, despite the lack of sunshine, but sadly this is the only one I saw in Glen Gairn ☹️

Fantastic day for a walkabout at Gairn Community Aberdeen to see the work they are doing, supported by funding from Aberdeen Airport's ABZ Propeller Fund.

If you're interested in volunteering, get in touch with them!

4 May 1941 // HM Trawler Ben Gairn sank after a parachute mine exploded next to her berth in the harbour at Lowestoft. HMT Ben Gairn, along with all nearby vessels, had been evacuated in preparation for the disposal of the mine, and no casualties resulted. #RoyalNavy #WW2 #NavalHistory

Lovely walk up Morven today, from Bridge of Gairn. It was very cold on the summit but pretty much everywhere else was windless in the sunshine.....so rather warm when walking and had to jettison layers! 🙂 Lovely birch in Glen Gairn. Glad of snowshoes on Morven's lower slopes 😰
