Hello and welcome to our blog. The little corner of the sprawling internet dedicated to our adventures.
That's us up there in the photo, the two handsome dudes standing atop Kinpurney Hill getting buffeted by the howling wind. For clarification, I am on the left of the photo and Mike is on the right.
We live in the east of Scotland and in our free time we like to go a walking in the hills, or the forests, or the towns. Really anywhere that might be of some interest in the nearby area and this blog will be a chronicle of our exploits.
It all started about a year ago on a rainy day in April. We decided to get our cameras out and head down the beach with the objective of taking some stunning photos. The weather coupled with our technical prowess (or lack of it) meant we never quite fullfilled our initial goal but it did fuel our explorative and creative fires. So we got out the trusty OS Maps and hit the net to find new places to go visit and get photographing.
Since then, we have visited loads of cool places and taken loads of awesome (in our opinion) photos. We honestly didn't realise there was so much to see around this part of Scotland. So, after nearly a year of doing this, we decided to share the tales of our adventures with the wider world.
In addition to the humorous, swashbuckling narratives of our outings, we hope this blog is able to provide a useful information resource to others wishing to visit these places. We will try our best to cram as much info in as possible so people can find and navigate these areas. We are not 'professional' hillwalkers (as you might have guessed from our get-up in the photo) but we have gained a lot of knowledge about getting around these places which will hopefully prove useful to anyone wishing to visit them.
As well as acting as tour guide we want to share the photographic knowledge we have picked up whilst snapping away on our journeys. We have both learned a lot in this area and hopefully the photos should reflect this. We will try and provide as many tips and guides as possible to ensure you get great snaps when you are out irrespective of whether you are shooting with a mobile phone or a DSLR.
Anyway, that's enough jibber-jabber in this post, let's head on to our first destination....
