Mither Tap against sun
but it didn’t, so we did not have to brave the mines of Moria, 3 times up and down Bennachie accomplished and quite a bit of money raised for the trees :) My legs hurt today!

back up on top and heading down Rowan
These new signs help to avoid confusion, there are even paths at the bottom linking different carparks so you can go down different ways without reclimbing if you wish 
no such plan for us - back up Rowan
This was the toughest climb being our third, even though it is the easiest path and most gentle slope.
resting on way up - some of the shoes did not make it (5 years old, ethical wares, much walking done)
reaching top 3rd time
steep final descent
down down down

rose cupcakes

fabulous guide to foraging in Britain.
amazing Russian books these: spirituality; growing; living naturally; raising children with love and respect; quite magical. Release any preconceived ideas of how life should be (or books) and create your space of love!
A very well researched novel which, alongside Picoult's usual 'heading to a trial' plot, explores many facets of and perspectives on Asperger's Syndrome. The potential and common effects of AS on siblings is especially well documented here. As gripping and informative a book as 
a great storehouse of food growing knowledge from Dirty Nails :)
"Girls just wanna have... wanna have fun...", and we still are :)
such spectacular scenery… the cupcakes look yummy too, is it rosewater icing? is there a recipe?
Well done! I am so impressed (speaking as an overweight, height-fearing person!) And the picnic looks good, too!
goodness no wonder your legs are aching !! Brilliant
spectacular isn’t it , what a view 
Legs still hurting today!
Cake made by moonrabbit Lucy – she is developing some amazing recipes just now, yes rose flavoured, gorgeous
Very well done to everyone – three times up and down Bennachie is an amazing accomplishment!
