So here I am in Perth with time on my hands. I hate shops so am off to Perth Museum and Art Gallery to see the 'Strathmore Meteorite'. The fragment of meteorite is one of four that were found along a five mile line from Corston near Coupar Angus (about 7km SE of Blairgowrie) to Essendy in Perthshire, when it broke up over the Sidlaw Hills on 3 December 1917. The fragment in PMAG was found at Corston Farm and it made a 6" deep hole in the lawn.
Other than this little excursion and a visit to Morrison's to buy some English beer, I shall be obeying the Third of T Ratcliffe Barnett's Ten Commandments (of Walking) - Thou shalt have no programme'!
Well, the museum was closed (!) for building works so I had a pleasant walk on the South Inche in warm sunshine instead. Yesterday Strathallan was the warmest place in the UK and even warmer than North Africa. We certainly enjoyed soaking it up when we had lunch at 366m near the Upper Glen Devon reservoir after escaping the strong cold NW wind on the hills above it. Unfortunately the descent took us close to the Burnfoot turbines but luckily my hat and two hoods at least meant I couldn't hear them!
Coffee I think and then that beer !
