What happened to the Summer?

What happened to the Great Summer we were going to have?- Thats the 2nd year in a row where quite frankly the Summer has been pants...

Think as a society we have created a vision or expectation that Scotland or 'Up North' can have great summers. The reality is very much different...

Tak Ma Doon Climb

Image
The 'Tak Ma Doon' is 1 of my favourite hills to climb, esp from the Kilsyth End - Read this blog for more detail on the Road itself. http://www.owenphilipson.com/blog/2011/03/04/scottish-climb-tak-me-doon-road/ Tak Ma Doon Road A firm favourite, yesterday was my 1st climb this year, icey in patches but a cloudy nippy day in Feb made for some decent views, esp as far as the Forth Road Bridge. Forth Rail Bridge from Summit of the Tak At the Top I bumped into no other than Brian Sutton, amazing who you randomly meet when out and about. Mr Brian Sutton ! Took in a decent of the Crow Road as well another hill know to most around the Glasgow Area - Just outside Lennoxtown. Very cautious decent - Awaiting long Summer nights like this - Another good day, finished with some West End Hills with WCV.

Zaggmate Keyboard Review..

Quick review of my Zaggmate keyboard. I bought this online from the American website at the end of november as it was almost brand new to the market and I could not as see anywhere in the UK to buy it... Downsides first- took 6 weeks to get here, then I was hit with a 24$ UK tax charge which I had to pay the post office before I got my hands on it, so overall its cost me a lot more than I liked. A mistake I wont repeat. Positives: Keyboard is very responsive via bluetooth. Almost instant. Connection to the ipad is a doodle, and what I like more about it is the fact it doubles as a case for the ipad also. only gripe I think I have is that I think it will scratch easily. This is really the first time I have used it. and I like it. So all positive apart from the tax bill grr... lol - Posted using BlogPress from my iPad Location: Mauchline,United Kingdom
