WOW! That was so much fun! I went a 4.48 mile walk up the Campsie Fells. I was wearing the Synergy Neon Lime Cycling Skinsuit, the whole time! At first under my normal clothes. Then once around 1 mile out of the village, I took my over shorts and t-shirt off, then went a walk wearing just the Lycra skinsuit!
You have no idea, how free and liberating it felt! And of course, 😈 it was! Knowing that any time, someone could walk around the corner and see me!
So happy hope that you enjoy looking at these photos!

At long last, I’ve used the Edinburgh Trams! It took me so long, since when it opened in May 2014, between Edinburgh Airport and York Place. It went, no where of any use! Well not for me anyway! But now the line has been extended to Newhaven to give me a reason to use them!
I can now say, I’ve used the following stops:-
Happy National Pet Day 2023 everyone! So it’s time to do post all about Bugsy!!!
Everyone will know, if you follow me on Facebook, Twitter etc. At first, I just could not bond with him. Since I was still getting over losing Cooper. Also Bugsy, had a very good at winding up me!
Now had him for just over 1 year. And totally head over heels in love with him!
Here are just some of amazing adventures we’ve been on so far…
Monsal Trail
He walked the whole of the Monsal Trail, the from start to end, then back to the start! Covering a total distance of 18.53 miles!

Tan Hill Inn
He’s stayed at the Tan Hill Inn. Which is Britain’s highest public house at 1,732 feet (528m) above sea level.
Been to Scotland!
Well OK, he’s only walked about half a mile into Scotland. While doing day 1 of the England Coast Path! But it still counts, right?!?!
Dales Way Link – Harrogate to Ilkley!
He’s walked the Dales Way Link – Harrogate to Ilkley, covering a distance of 17.73 miles.

Since 2022, is just about over it’s time repost my favourite walking photos from the year! It was yet another year, when I walked over 1,000 miles!
Also still can’t believe that Cooper is not longer with us… Miss him each and every day! Life has never been the same without him!!
Of course, since losing him. Bugsy has come into my life! Who, I’ve also falling in love with!

Had a great afternoon in Glasgow… Well once, we found somewhere to park! Ended up driving around a lot… Then Neil was like, let’s park at Old Glasgow Transport Museum. Which worked out well. Plus just a short walk to the Kelvinhall subway station.
Oh and yes, Glasgow has a underground light metro system. Which opened on 14 December 1896, it is the fourth-oldest underground rail transit system in Europe after the London Underground, Liverpool’s Mersey Railway and the Budapest Metro.
Right back to afternoon in Glasgow. We just spend most of afternoon walking around. Doing lots of window shopping. But Neil, did get stuff in HMV. I had to stop myself, from getting stuff in the Lego Store.
We also went to The Crystal Palace, to get food! Yes, it’s a Wetherspoons!
I will need to go back and redo Dunfermline Town railway station! Since it’s about to get renamed to Dunfermline City railway station!
Since it’s gone from a town’s over to a new status as a city.
