Biking, Swimming, Foot-Slogging - No Time for Blogging!!

A little damp and bedraggled after my swim - and soak in the not-too-hot tub for those sore muscles - I am swinging by the internet access to get a few lines posted, while cousin Ann goes to make a start on supper. We have been very good about 'eating in' in the evening,and making a 'wee piece' to have at noon!
As you probably gathered, our days are full, but we have been blessed with dry weather, and even sun at times, so have been making the most of that! Yesterday we walked for at least five miles, through woods and heathland, then partway around a nearby loch. Today we rented bikes - set off at 9:30am and returned at 4:30pm, so we may well be unable to get out of bed in the morning..... No idea just how many miles we pedaled, but it certainly wasn't an 'easy ride' and entailed much pedal-pushing. We came upon a herd of deer at the start of our ride, but they scattered at speed when they heard us. A little later we came upon a gentleman, of a certain age, who told us that he had camped out last night. I wasn't surprised as he was beside a lochan (small loch) and appeared to be just finishing his morning ablutions! His local knowledge proved to be very useful as he pointed us in the right direction for our destination.
During the course of the day the weather just got better and better, so that we decided to drve up Cairn Gorm. Despite the sunny periods though, visibility wasn't too good. There is a funicular railway which could take us farther up, but unless the visibility is good, not much point in making the trip.
I realize that I haven't mentioned much about the days preceding our flight to Scotland, but everything went really well. My time with Ruth and Bern in Ely, Cambs. was very relaxing and enjoyable - and the sun shone!! Saturday morning Ruth and I made an early start to travel by train to Reading, via London, to attend the reunion at The Abbey. Even though it had not been widely publicized, there was quite a good crowd there, some of whom I hadn't seen for ages. Needless to say, we were pretty talked out by the end of the day.....
Now to do a little research on the internet in preparation for tomorrow's activities - and maybe find some e-mail. (Thanks to those who have sent news - much appreciated.)
