As the new biking season is upon us (Late March to early October in Scotland), I thought I'd refresh the "aweerun" sticker for my bike, went for a classy script font this time. Also this is my 100th post.

The North Way Round Part Four
The end of a (not so) wee run. Woke up to the sound of silence, typical, this was the last day. I'd had fun in the highlands, and seen places I'd wanted to see. Today wasn't just heading home though, we had tickets to go on the "funicular railway" at the Cairngorm Mountains. So, it... Continue Reading →

Day three started the same as day two, with the rain hitting off the roof of the caravan, but it didn't last, and when I looked up at the sky, I could see a strange blue colour behind the grey that had followed us around the day before. Today we were heading for John O'Groats,... Continue Reading →

Fish and Trips
Super day for a run down the coast, a bit cloudy and not too warm. Left Paisley to head to Ayrshire, traveling through Beith, Dalry, Kilwinning and Irvine. Ended up at Troon harbour to try out a wee chippy I heard about called "The wee Hurrie" (not affiliated with “a wee run”) for some nice... Continue Reading →
