February

The month started well with the black Skoda passing it's MOT test without needing any repairs.
We were then all at the farm to celebrate Shetland Granny's 100th Birthday. See the photos from the link above. It was a great gathering.
Wendy then had a week off and Euan was on half term for three days. They treated themselves to a day out in St Andrews.
Whilst Euan went off to a birthday party, Wendy & John went out for dinner in Perth to the Taproom. Next day we cycled 13km around Errol.
Euan rounded the month off with a sleepover, allegedly for DofE training, Wendy & John had a quiet evening at home.

March

We started the month with a trip to Glen Duror bothy. Good walk in, nice bothy and we got a good fire going. Steady walk out next morning and a good run home.
Whilst Euan was on a kayak course, John went off exploring to find a new bothy. He didn't get to his first choice, too much uphill and not enough of a track to follow so he went for plan b. Glenpean bothy, very nice, good stove. He was joined by three italians.
The following weekend we popped down to Queensferry for Euan to go diving with sharks. This took a bit longer than expected so we didn't get to the buffalo farm for a burger.
Euan had another day of his kayak course so John & Wendy pottered about the house and started sorting kit for the Easter Bothy Getaway.
John got an early finish on the Thursday and got the car packed up ready for a prompt getaway on Friday. A good run across to the Corran Ferry. Found the turning to Ardtornish and got parked up ready for the walk in. A nice little bothy, quite cosy once we got the fire going. We got a bit damp on the walk out but the sun came out once back at car. A brief stop in Strontian before heading for Resourie bothy. We got the room with the fireplace as there were other peopl in the room with the stove. Steady walk out and good run around to Glen Nevis campsite. A relaxing afternoon with a chance to get a shower before heading along to the retraunt for dinner. To be continued next month.......
