That’s me back in the UK!!

That’s me now back in the UK! Got back into Glasgow late last night! Had so much fun in Cyprus, but still glad to be back home! Well just about home, still got to drive back to England on Thursday at some point.

Since, I am not back at work, till Friday. I am going to make, the most of my time here in Scotland. By doing lot’s and lot’s of walking!

So today, Neil and myself walked from Killearn down, onto the West Highland Way, had a look at the Pots of Gartness, then walked back up to Killearn.

Great walk around Whalley

That was sure a great walk around Whalley in Lancashire. Just funny to think, that if, I had not moved to Scotland when I was, very, very young. That’s the area, I would have growing up in! Since I was born in Chorley and use to live in Leyland…

Anyway back to the walk, I can’t get over just how nice Whalley is! So much going on, for a small village!

The walk was just over 6 miles! You can check out the route we took over at www.strava.com/activities/1539712837
