if the mountain defeats us…
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! These new signs help to avoid confusion, there are even paths at the bottom linking different carparks so you can [...]

trees for life
Four of us girls (Charlotte, me and Lucy and Eleanor from moonrabbits) are doing a sponsored climb to raise money for trees for life, the wonderful charity that is replanting the Caledonian Forest. We intend climbing Bennachie 3 times in one day, taking all three routes to the Mither Tap in about a months time. [...]
girls go up the mountain
This was actually yesterday morning: Got to give a mention to Moonrabbits Cotton Comforts who were included in a two year study of reusable pads from around the world by Brunel University – they came 1st for value and were in the top 3 for being well made, comfy etc. Fab Now on to today and [...]

after a little blog break…
It’s been a busy month of visiting friends both here and there iyswim. Had a fab residential home ed group trip where the kids ran amock in the woods and the adults got to chat and drink wine and eat chocolate cake. It was HOT, actually HOT, hoping this bodes well for the rest of [...]
loud chat and mountains
Got the bulk of the kitchen decorating done yesterday… just some little touches to add, but we’ll do that together in the week sometime. Had a great day out today with friends. Davie decided to stay at home and complete some more DIY jobs around the house after he heard we intended going shopping and [...]
Cairngorm
Went up the Cairngorm Mountain with friends today – one of our favourite places Bought girls and boys books in shop – great success, if rather hilarity producing! Look like they’re going to have some interesting projects in them… and in other events, Davie got his photo in the paper in an article about [...]
Bennachie
Had a sudden terrible realisation this morning. We had not climbed a mountain or any large hill this summer. Beautiful day so off we rushed to rectify this :) A bit like childbirth, climbing. You don’t remember how hard it is until you’re doing it again (actually no comparison of course – childbirth much harder!). We got to the [...]
