Aberfoyle Ape

Just back from the rainy trossachs, every day for a week a downpour almost guaranteed.  Was a nice wee break though, the river Forth is but a stream there, a bit larger here in Kinghorn though!  

Stayed in Aberfoyle, was a nice wee flat near the river, then again it's not a big place so you're near everything the village offers.  Just a short 15 min walk away was Go Ape, and the tree top challange was taken on, had booked in advance, which was a good idea as even at this time of year it's a popular place to go. A little nervousness was on display at start, but after the first long zip wire you get into it. I did ok considering my age and frozen shoulder anyway. Hopefully my left arm gets better, if so I must go back, only struggled really at one stage when you swing into a rope mesh, sounds easy, but my arm played up when pulling myself up to the elevated tree. No fear of heights, felt safe, and the zip wires were really long at start and finish, recommended.

What else happened this month? Well, a 3 week non-boozingness finished about the 18th, lost about 2 kg, which no doubt has returned! I got into walk-running, a mix that is only possible of course on non rubbish days. Still going occassionally to vets place but I really need to get myself sorted soon, I am just too young to be retired..

Seems Covid is still doing the rounds here as the Crown has been closed for a few days as almost all staff had it, but it's still OK for COP26 to be held in Glasgow in the middle of pandemic? Lot of shite.
