Lots of Balblair Woods

Longest walk of the trip so far, 5 1/2 miles. This is AFTER Mike has played a round of golf walking, which is oh about 5 1/2 miles. And he still has to slow down for me...

Balblair Woods, the woods on the north shore of Loch Fleet, is an absolutely sstunning walk. Through pine forest, then mixed and deciduous trees, along the stony beach of Loch Fleet, and back again.   We got lost last summer ( you can see photos on last summer's blog.) And we got only a little lost this summer.  Next year's the charm!

Note the expanse of heathers under the pines, gorse, tiny orange mushrooms in the moss. Variety of stones on beach. Narrowness of path at times. Just a delight!

Ending with another pic out our kitchen window - more enthusiatic lawn bowlers!
