We climbed Ben A’an

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.

North Berwick, I will be back!

Funny at first, I only wanted to go to North Berwick, to tick off another railway station! So, I did not really know much about the same at all! But it turns, out I had been once again. When I was about 2 or 3! My Mum and Dad, had great fun showing me the photos! I was like, are you sure that is me?!?!?

Next time, I go to North Berwick. I just need to make sure, he’s during the summer. It was very cold, when Neil I and myself went! Also not helped by the fact, I am still trying to get over the cold/flu bug thing!

We also walked up North Berwick Law, which at only 187 metres may not sound much. But since you are starting from sea level, you do feel the walk to the top! Also not helped by the fact, it was very, very windy!

Been a Class 385 train at long last!

I’am so happy, yes maybe I need to get more! At long last, I’ve been on a Class 385 train. The last number of times, I’ve been in Scotland they have been withdrawn, from service for a number of reasons!

Got say, that I do really like them! Just hope, next time, I get to do a longer journey, since I only went from North Berwick to Edinburgh Waverley. So need to try them out on the Glasgow-Edinburgh route.
