The days of long walk #3.5

Good evening Everyone :)

The title this time is a bit misleading, because we did go outside, but we did that by bicycle. Here the travelogue of our first and apparently the last bicycle ride in Scotland in 2017.  

We chose a destination close to our home, being this is our first bicycle ride in traffic etc. The importance of this village we were about to visit is that it has a nice sandy beach, also a nature reserve, like no other places.

So we prepared some lunch, packed bottled water and off we go.. :)

The ride there was surprisingly easy (that 4 month prior in Budapest cycling to work made its job :P) and quiet, true it was on a weekday morning. There were some clouds on the sky, but the air was still warm, making it a perfect day for biking.

We stopped twice before we reached the beach, first time something was wrong with my bike, (the guys tried to fix my breaks a couple of day back and actually forgot to tighten a screw... ¬.¬

But while Maxim was fixing my bike, I took a couple of pictures :D

This is also taken on the top of the hill  and you can see the sea from here. (like Scotland made up only from hills and sea :D ) 

 And from where we came :) All green, and there were a lot of Angus cows (future burgers) on the way. :)

We hold a break for the second time  to eat blackberries. We almost reached the nature reserve, when Maxim stops, leaves the bicycle on the side of the road (The whole village seemed to be empty) and goes to the nearest green bush. HE FOUND BLACKBERRIES (It is sooo him..) so we ate all the blackberries. :D I didn't take any picture, was too focused on eating :D

So we finally manage to reach the nature reserve. The whole park is like this. Sandy and green :)

Again, there were a lot of hills we had to climb, but the view worth it.

After the hill, there's the sea :)

I really like that whoever refurbished the park, he thought about the elderly, the disabled and mothers with buggies.. there are these wooden roads across the park, make it easier to reach the beach and walking around the park.

Had our lunch on the beach :) <3

A burrow where a fox resides maybe.. :)

 

When we came home we chose a different way. To be honest I saw a small loch on the map near us, and I wanted to see it. We actually lost in the middle of nowhere, take almost 2 hours of detour, but finally found it. Aaaand didn't worth it. Imagine something like Naplas to in Budapest... :/ But, the view.. still amazes me.

Every time I go to the shire I am astonished by the landscape..

We found sheep (haha Misa, I hope you read the blog :P ) and again a blackberry field.
