It looks like I have quite a bit of reading to do. If you get the time I have a blog at www.awalkonthemildside.co.uk I am always pleased if a return link appears, but of course, only if you feel my site worthy.

I've never had an issue with any ME gear so I'm not expecting any problems with this jacket.afootinthehillshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06670636358354420373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1089596276538867573.post-63413599469853976942017-01-22T16:13:43.448+00:002017-01-22T16:13:43.448+00:00Will be interested to hear how the new jackets goWill be interested to hear how the new jackets goAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1089596276538867573.post-23546992992611294592017-01-22T11:08:14.737+00:002017-01-22T11:08:14.737+00:00Sir Hugh - we know Cafe Kisa well and it still pro...Sir Hugh - we know Cafe Kisa well and it still provides lovely coffee and food - and smiling waitressses. Apart from the famous Gleneagles Hotel and golf courses Auchterarder became more widly known in 2005 when the G8 summit was held at the Hotel. It was a strange experience to see the huge police presence in the town - forces from all over the UK - when normally you never see any! <br />afootinthehillshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06670636358354420373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1089596276538867573.post-47467444178154665392017-01-22T10:55:08.306+00:002017-01-22T10:55:08.306+00:00Hi Alan.

The wind farm has ruined the walk out to Steele's Knowe over Ben Thrush and the lack of parking at the former YH site mentioned in an earlier post means new approaches will need to be found, but we're looking forward to doing these little hills again from afootinthehillshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06670636358354420373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1089596276538867573.post-67552105654200361352017-01-22T09:06:36.080+00:002017-01-22T09:06:36.080+00:00The Auchterarder sign brought back memories.

On the drive north we discovered Café Kisa in Auchterarder and went back there each time. There was a very pleasant waitress who Pete flirted with. On the first visit I knew there was something well known about the area (turned out to be its proximity Sir Hughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908756392825206914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1089596276538867573.post-13329871980934374762017-01-21T22:35:06.215+00:002017-01-21T22:35:06.215+00:00The claw is easier to spot on the map than it is o...The claw is easier to spot on the map than it is on the satellite image.

She's right, of course; I might even have admitted that out loud in a moment of weakness!Davehttps://ossroad.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
