Loving the gratuitous spike!

Enjoying the quiet satisfaction of boarding a prebooked train that’s taken five weeks of walking to reach. Back in a few weeks for the Aberdeen to Edinburgh leg but before then it’s a busy schedule of family & assignments. Glad to have a long journey ahead to make the adjustment.

Managed to smuggle some Scottish sand into England on the train.

Always good to see when my photos find a new home: nine prints from Dumfries & Galloway now living in New Zealand.
The Perimeter is a labour of love: it’s taken 454 days of walking, hundreds of hours of planning and thousands of hours of editing. If you have the means, I’d appreciate your support by buying a print or contributing so I can continue to share the project with you.

I accidently fell into the sea and ruined my camera on that beach! Your photos are lovely, as usual.
Oh no annoying – I did that once in Vietnam
I lost one going over the bars into a ditch when cycling the Moray coast – it was that annoying detour when the Lossie footbridge was closed.
That beach into Aberdeen and the one north of Peterhead must have taken some planning re water – was bad enough biking them in that respect. Balmedie helped.
