What You See Is What You Get. This is a journal blog, an explore-blog, a bit of this and that blog. Sharing where the mood takes me. Perhaps it will take you too.

Menootanabootagain - the Northern Explorer

The Tuesday of our week together saw us riding in Mac3's SUV as we drove further afield in search of several more geocaches - five in total, but only two were successfully located (a common problem in this hobby, with combination of 'muggling' - regular walkers thinking they've found trash and disposing of the cache - of location clues being too obscure and/or the satellite feed for geo-positioning getting blurred by trees and such like), but we saw more of the Bonny Land as a result...


















At 'The Mound' we found a bit of history which expanded once more our understanding of the area... you can chose between that  'snapshot' article, or this more technical and scholarly one - or both, if you feel inclined!

There will be more shots from this outing and others on tomorrow's Me-Now-Views page... you have been warned!

  2. Just catching up here on our glacial paced Torridon internet connection. Gail and I both think that is super interesting about the Mound and Telford's bridge and the impact upstream. Thanks for the links.

  3. I have never gone geo-catching but it seems like it would be a great way to explore new areas (even if you don't find it!)

  9. That cottage looks great for a family holiday. My sister and I are planning to stay in cottages next year as well. As a base it would be so much better than a hotel ever is. We're not sure where exactly yet though. And your cottage seems to be a bit far away from where we want to go.

    Here in Norway you can write your name in a book when you get to the top of a mountain or hill. The books are kept in plastic/tupperware boxes and then in a post box. At the top of course. It always feels like an achievement when you can write your name down!
