Buckie and the King

Month started off in Buckie, walked to Fochabers in the nice weather, the first leg of the Speyside Way. It took a long time to reach the goal, longer than the guide book suggested. Had a pint or two there before heading with bus back to Buckie. Next day walked along the coast to Cullen, so 50K steps achieved in first 2 days of month! Was nice up there, but the pubs weren't up to much, they only seemed to have Tennent's lager. The 3 night stay at the Marine Hotel went very quickly.

The walking didn't stop there though as we headed to Edinburgh to walk the Waters of Leith the day after arriving back, this was the first of 2 Edinburgh visits this month.

Was only at the vets place a couple of days this month, had holiday to take, though could not take all of them so have lost a bit of entitlement as holiday year starts tomorrow. Back in again at weekend, it's been a while.

Apart from the active start to the month I've been a bit lazy to be honest, not really done as much around the flat that I should have, though cut grass twice and took stuff to the recycling a couple of times too-microwave packed in and needed replaced the second time. In my own defence I have been going walk-runs, basically walking half then running half in an effort to get slim again, have also been off the booze since last weekend to increase the chances of losing a Kg or two. Will see how it goes, though a couple of weeks of non-boozingness should do me no harm. 

Got some time off the end of October, so have booked an apartment not too far from Loch Lomond for a week, it's too much hassle thinking of going abroad. 


Was at quiz a couple of times at Auld Hoose, won the last time! Also at Auld Hoose, Elvis was in the building for a 3 hour concert a couple of weeks ago.
