07/05/2026 - Day off work. We had a long walk over the two hills within Aberdeen city boundary, Tyrebagger Hill & Brimmond Hill. 14 miles taken slow. We were out about 9 hours. We don't rush for nothing. Even managed to visit 3 cafes, which I think is good going for a single walk. Sunshine for the most part and the rain held off. Not many humans about too which is always a good thing. Nice wild flowers and plenty of birds. It's nice walking round here.

22/03/2026 - Evening walk up Cairn William in Aberdeenshire. A nice way to end the weekend. Bit chilly but a few stars so that was nice. Quiet on the hill. The night is still easy to say hello to at the moment, next week with the clocks going forward it gets a bit tricky. Night was 20:40, next Sunday 22:01.

Sewingshields trig point from this morning... trying not to look cold!! 🤣 It was just fingers (mainly thumbs) that were the problem, and this could be related to a combo of strong/cold winds and Pacer-Poles? Fabulous route though, from Housesteads to Sewingshields, looping up around Haughton Common, and joining the Pennine Way back to the Wall. Beyond Housesteads, we only met farmers and sheepdogs all day! 😅

24/12/2025 - Black Hill trigpoint.
Evening walk on Christmas Eve. Quiet on Bennachie tonight. A dark walk round to Black Hill trigpoint and then back over the tops. We sat and had our tea halfway round. Below freezing but little wind. The stars were so good. We took our time and didn't rush, we never do.

15/11/2025 - A visit to Hill of Foudland in Aberdeenshire. I headed up this hill last week for early morning. Today we went back for a bit of evening dark. Bus out and back. We had tea on top. Just us and the trigpoint. Cold but not as cold as forecast. Nice walk though I felt tired today.

08/11/2025 - Mrs Spaceways is away this weekend so I woke early and went for a little adventure. I took the Ember bus out to Colpy to walk up Hill of Foudland in Aberdeenshire. I've not used Ember buses before. I was proper impressed. Much cheaper than the normal bus and easy to change ticket with a couple of clicks to get an earlier bus back. They are all electric too. They get a big thumbs up from me. Walk was nice if a little misty.

18/10/2025 - Sunset visit to Culardoch. It's a good walk of about 12 miles there and back to this hill near Braemar in Aberdeenshire. Weather held and the wind wasn''t too bad. Bit chilly on the top as we had our tea and waited for sunset. Great long walk back in the dark.
-
25/07/2025 - Friday evening walk after work. A visit to Pressendye, a fine hill in Aberdeenshire. Quiet on the hill this evening which is what I was needing. The late sunshine was lovely on the purple heather. We found a spot out of the wind and had our tea. Dark on the way back.
-
01/07/2025 - We took the day off work and headed into Moray to spend the day on Ben Rinnes looking for wild flowers and good stuff. The weather behaved and so did my legs. It was great to see different plants to my local patch. A really top day out.
-
10/05/2025 - Trig to trig walk on Bennachie this evening. We hadn't planned to visit both trigpoints but the weather was good and with the twilight sky starting to darken I felt a need to see some stars. A good walk, quiet on the hill. The big moon kept us company all night. Got home about 3am.

Today sees our last #LakeDistrict #trigpoint photo and it's Jessie, of course, sitting close beside the trig point on Skiddaw.

We are almost out of #LakeDistrict #trigpoint photos but here's the one on The Old Man of Coniston taken on another fairly sunny day.
We've got lots of walks up or around the Old Man

Here's the #LakeDistrict #Trigpoint on Seatallan on a clear but cold February day. Traditional stone construction again, so much nicer than concrete.
You can visit it on our walk "Middle Fell, Seatallan, Buckbarrow - a Greendale round"
-
Oooh, we've found another good photo of the #LakeDistrict #Trigpoint on Red Screes.
-
Not sure why we stopped posting #LakeDistrict #Trigpoint but here's the one on Red Screes. Traditional stone construction and in good condition when we visited on a fine April day.
You can visit on our walk 'Red Screes and Middle Dodd from Ambleside'

It's been a couple of weeks since we posted #LakeDistrict #Trigpoint (cos Covid 😷) but here's the one on Place Fell. Traditional stone construction again and in good condition, with Ullswater beyond. Bit of a grey day when we visited.

14/03/2025 - We went chasing ghosts tonight
Evening walk up the hill. I took the scope with me. The moon was bright and lots of rolling clouds so not great for a dark night sky. Still I was happy with my snap of the Pacman Nebula. After about an hour on top the cold was starting to get to me and there were no more dots to munch so we headed back home. A nice way to start the weekend.

07/03/2025 - Day off work. We headed to the hills. A fine loop up and round Peter Hill on a sunny day in Aberdeenshire. Mild with little wind, just a really nice day for a walk. We plonked down in the heather and had our butties. It was quiet on the hill, I was happy. We saw a lovely adder on the way up enjoying the sun. Good birds too, red kite and snow bunting on top, skylarks everywhere, grey wagtail and dipper on the river near the end. Top day out.
-
01/03/2025 - A nice walk up the Buck today, a fine hill on the border between Aberdeenshire and Moray. The sunshine was lovely on the way up. We had our tea on top and watched the sun set. Dark on way back down. Stars were really good. Not much moon and the night sky is Bortle 3 here so nice and dark compared to home.

Today's #LakeDistrict #TrigPoint is on Fellbarrow, a #Wainwright Western Fell a little way south of Cockermouth. Another stone built one and at a bit of a tilt but still in reasonable condition.
And of course we have a walk to get you there.😁

Trig point above Ravenheugh Crags in #Northumberland from this afternoon. I'd walked from Stonehaugh, following the road and then a public byway... it was a little bit muddy!! 🤣 #TrigPoint #TrigBagging #Photography

25/02/2024 - A trip to the sea today. Sunny and peaceful walk in the dunes to the trig. Then along the cliffs to the bay for a sit and tea. The sun set and the moon rose. We walked back along the beach by moonlight. A nice visit with lots of birds about and very little humans. A couple of pairs of fulmars back on the cliff which was great to see.

02/01/2024 - We waited for the afternoon and the rain to ease. It did a little but it was still a bit of a wet walk. 10 mile round trip to visit the two hills within the boundary of Aberdeen. I always like to visit these two Humps early each year. We didn't see many folk, no surprise considering the weather. The ground everywhere is sodden. Forecast looks the same again tomorrow. It should have been a rubbish walk but we both really enjoyed it!

05/11/2023 - A new Tump for us half way up Glen Muick, Auchnacraig Hill. Protected by trees, it was a really lovely walk up through larch in autumn colours. We descended south to have lunch overlooking the remains of an old township. Just a lovely location in the sunshine to sit and relax. The day was too good to go back just yet so we headed south to revisit the trig on Fasheilach. A peaceful day out in the hills nicely finished by a visit to the village bonfire.

04/11/2023 - After sunset visit to Geallaig Hill. It has been a tough few weeks weather wise and life in general. It felt so good to be out walking again. This a fine hill with a good loop from Glen Gairn. We reached the top at pretty much sunset. Misty and a cold wind. We sat by the cairn, had our tea and waited for the dark. A few stars on the way back down but the mist and clouds didn't clear much. It was a chilly visit but just what we needed.

02/07/2023 - After yesterday's rain it was good to wake up to a dry day. We spent the morning at Sumburgh Head. It's a great place for puffins. We also got very lucky with a sighting of a Pacific swift! Afternoon visit to St Ninian's Bay. I was tired today.
PuffinCam at Sumburgh Head, Shetland. I love this webcam!

01/07/2023 - Our run of good weather came to an end. Today it chucked it down for most of the day. Still had a good day out though. We headed north to try and dodge the rain but it found us in the end. Some nice views of landscape, birds and flowers. Bonus Tump with trigpoint at Esha Ness.
-
25/06/2023 - A sunny walk in the lovely named Button Hills above Brae. Fell asleep for an hour or so at Souther Hill trigpoint where we had our sandwiches. It's a peaceful place. Lots of Bonxie, Golden plover and Dunlin on the hill. On the way back we visited two cairns next to each other, one a heel-shaped cairn. Both in not great condition but nice to see and a good location. A nice day taken slow.
-
24/06/2023 - A day of clouds in the morning and sunshine in the afternoon. It was warm. We went for a walk from Brae to Muckle Roe and back over the hills. Three Tumps, a trigpoint, prehistory and the most northerly chippy in Great Britain. A top day out. Tired feet but happy.
-
23/06/2023 - A sunny visit to Beorgs Of Uyea. West of North Roe at the top of mainland Shetland. Neolithic Axe Factory and a Chambered Cairn marked on the OS map proved too hard a pull to ignore. I've be wanting to visit here for years. Weather was just great. Two Tumps and a trigpoint on the way back too. Magic day out.
