It has been a very, very lazy winter. Despite it being the mildest I can remember for years! Several pounds on (ok a stone!) but spring has been thrust upon us here in the North like I have not seen in a long time. Birch trees have been tapped, I have lots of new shiny kit to test and this weekend I am having my first real spring outing for a 50 mile hike down to Aviemore via the Speyside way.
The whole year ahead with 3 great seasons to come and more plans than even those 3 can cope with. Hopefully I can shed a few pounds if the beer stops are not too many.
I have packed up some lentils, spices and flour for the trip. My bivvy and a lightwight bag. A bottle of port and my slingshot for hazy practise.
Roll on Friday as I am taking it off! Anyone else got plans for the weekend?
