Roseberry Topping Walk (13/48)

Climbing Roseberry Topping in North Yorkshire, England for #13 of #48walks I noticed a subtle difference between walking in North Yorkshire and walking in Aberdeenshire. The air was just a few degrees warmer and the fields a slightly brighter shade of green. The kids and I found this walk that was just a few miles …

Balmedie Beach Walk (12/48)

Often there is such a long string of gray days in Aberdeen that I actually forget that the sky and sea can be this lovely. When the cold mist clears, it’s as though someone has taken a paintbrush to the city or like a black and white film has turned to color. Just north of …

Time for Some Long Walks

Y’all! I am beyond excited to announce that I am going to be going on a couple of long walks times this year with Macs Adventure. In just a few weeks I am going to walk St Cuthbert’s Way in Scotland with my sister! This path wanders through several ancient abbeys, beginning with Melrose Abbey …

Aberdeenshire Walk (10/48)

I promise to make up for all my winter whining about the weather by being ridiculously happy about all the days full of skies this blue. Yesterday at church, Simon’s sweet teacher told us we needed to enjoy days like these because they are so few and far between, so we spent every possible minute …

Scottish Coastal Walk (9/48)

We walked the Eastern Scottish Coast on Saturday afternoon and it was crazy windy. The walk took us along a cliff above the sea and I was a weensy bit worried one of us was going to blow away. The wind was blowing all this sea foam into piles on the shore and after we …

Walking Alone in Aberdeen 3/48

Here’s my last January walk! After six straight days of rain in Aberdeen, I decided to get out by myself in the area last Thursday. I have been trying to go for longer walks when I’m alone because I’m hoping to go on a really long walk in the not too distant future. Plus I …

Happy Monday, friends! We only managed to get 2 of 4 kiddos out for walk 2 of 48. We headed to an already familiar (and favorite) nearby set of hiking trails, Bennachie.

Chapel of St. Lesmo

Whenever I come across an old chapel on one of our walks in the country, I want to stop for a while. Sometimes I lag behind my family while I circle a church, and if I really want to get behind, I walk all the way inside. The Chapel of St. Lesmo is usually closed …

A Family Hostel Stay At The Buttermere YHA It’s always a bit of a puzzle to figure out accommodation for a family of six. If we stay in a hotel, we need two rooms, since our kids are growing like weeds and cannot be bundled together as easily anymore. Getting two hotel rooms for several …
