Chasethehaggis: Halfway There
http://www.chasethehaggis.com/2012/03/halfway-there.html
Sunday, 25 March 2012. The plan was always to get back into some routine of exercise in the run up to Easter but as with most plans, it never really kicked off. So, after a few medical ailments, I decided it needed to kick-off for my own well being. A rare day off where Gaz was available and the prospect of good weather meant a wee trip to the hills to see how we'd cope after a nearly 9-month absence. The intended target was Beinn Narnain. After the zigzags we got out into the open and the long and windi...

Chasethehaggis: April 2011
http://www.chasethehaggis.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, 23 April 2011. Easter weekend was approaching and the weather was set to be nice. There was no way we were not going to attempt a walk. After some deliberations, it was decided we would try Beinn Tulaichen. Both these hills are situated in the Crianlarich Hills. The route we were going to take was to start at Inverlochlarig Farm. To the South. This would take in Beinn Tulaichen first then following the ridge along to Cruach Ardrain then descending from the bealach between the two. This route wa...

Chasethehaggis: February 2011

Sunday, 20 February 2011. Tent for the bargain sum of £20 (saving £40 on the retail). I have never tried to put a tent up and I wouldn't know where to start. With this in mind, I have left it sitting, waiting for a relatively nice day to set it up. Last weekend was chucking it down but today was the day. The ground looked alright and it was nice out. With my plot of land sorted (my garden), it was time to construct my summer house. Remember when I said it was a nice day? 2011-02-20 - Tent Failure. Due to...

Sunday, 30 December 2012. This year's no. 1 was set in stone until the events of Friday June 1st changed the course of history forever. That's right, it was inevitably going to be Prometheus but alas, it isn't so here are my movies of 2012. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Follow me on Twitter.

Chasethehaggis: July 2013
http://www.chasethehaggis.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 9 July 2013. Isle of Bute and the West Island Way. Two weeks off and we are getting hit with a heatwave like never before. In an effort to not waste my days doing nothing (for nothing read drinking cider in the sunshine), I decided to get outside. The plan for day one was to get the train to Wemyss Bay. And then get the ferry over to The Isle of Bute. Just shy of the 35 minutes sailing time and Rothesay. Rothesay is in the unique situation in that it is a town that has the remains of it's castle.

Chasethehaggis: June 2012
http://www.chasethehaggis.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Monday, 4 June 2012. The bank holiday weekend was fast approaching and a plan was hatched. My brother and his fiance were both off so it was arranged we would finally tackle a hill together. Ben Lomond. Was the intended target on the Monday of the long weekend. Nothing could go wrong in the run up. Or could it. Last Saturday, during the heatwave, I decided to have a quick stroll up the The Greenock Cut. Halfway along, something went in my foot and the usual 40 minute return leg took just shy of 2 hours.

Chasethehaggis: May 2011
http://www.chasethehaggis.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 25 May 2011. Breathtaking scenery. Tropical weather. Different cultures. Copious amounts of food and drink. Everything you could ask for from a break away. But when you stay in Scotland, the tropical weather is more reminiscent of a tropical rainstorm opposed to blistering blue skies. And this was no different. Welcome to Fort William at the end of May. Even more surprisingly, the 09:07 Fort William train was on time and it was time for Dad to experience the sights of the West Highland Line.
