Just a few pictures from last Friday's visit to Wythenshawe Park.
The main purpose of this blog is to keep in touch with friends and family, and maybe entertain others with common interests, particularly in relation to the outdoors. We hope you enjoy it, and your comments are valued....

My Surgical Life in the NHS and Overseas - A 'Full On' surgical life, by Reginald Kingston
Sue and I, with much assistance from Humphrey Weightman, have been helping our friend Reg with his autobiography over the past few months. We are delighted that the book was published through Amazon on 30 April 2024. Here's Reg's own summary of the book on the 'Back Page Copy'. Apologies for the low resolution image, it'll be fine on the printed book.
Much hard work, mainly Reg's, has gone into producing the book, and we hope that others will agree with us that it's an excellent read. The book is available from Amazon for £15.00 - see here.

Saturday 27 April 2024 - Carlingwark Loch parkrun #24, and a Community Run
Saturday morning: we packed up, said our goodbyes, and then tootled off to Castle Douglas, where their newish parkrun is three laps of a course that skirts Carlingwark Loch. Very scenic.
All of us had good runs, with a photo at the course before we adjourned for breakfast at a cafe recommended by Tove.

Thursday 25 April 2024 - The Mull of Galloway
Eight of us enjoyed a 10km stroll around the Mull of Galloway, which claims to be the southernmost tip of Scotland, with views towards the Lake District as well as the Galloway hills with which we are becoming familiar.
Pictured above are Jenny and David, near the start, on their way to a lovely section of coast.

Wednesday 24 April 2024 - Craiglee
Today's 13km walk with Keith, Carol and Julie took us on a circuit from Bruce's Stone, over the 531 metre summit of Craiglee.
The view from Bruce's Stone (top picture) towards Loch Trool seems better than yesterday's, but the rest of the team at the stone is very similar.

Tuesday 23 April 2024 - A Bike Ride from Penninghame
Today's 56km bike ride started from Penninghame, so Richard, Jenny, Tove and I enjoyed a leisurely start whilst many of the others started earlier on a trip to Ailsa Craig.
