I hope, that you don’t mind all these new blog posts. Think you can tell, that I had a great time in Scotland!!
I’ve still got, even more stuff to post about!! 🙂
Well it had to had done! During my drive between Scotland and England (320 miles), I had to stop off and do some wetsuit photos! This is also, the first time, I’ve had a wetsuit on in 2019!! 🙂
During my drive back from Scotland, I called into Penrith railway station, to have a wee look around… Of course, I can’t add this railway station to my list… since I’ve not travelled to/from it… yet…

That turned out to be a great day out in Ayr, in Scotland! Sure I’ve been before at some point, but I would like to say it was well over 20 years ago. I really do need to get back again in the summer!

I can now tick, Ayr railway station off my list! Which is my first new railway station of 2019! The first, of many, I am sure! Hoping to add at least 50 more in 2019!

Could not think of a better way to start 2019! That was to walk up my first named summit of the year. Neil and myself walked up Ben A’an, which has a elevation of 454 metres. The summit gives you some great views of the Trossachs.
You can, check out the route we took over at www.strava.com/activities/2048679883.
Happy New Year everyone and welcome to 2019!
At long last, I’ve got some photos of Milngavie railway station. I’ve used it a good number of times, over the last year… but till today, not taken any photos.
