There was a plan to get out on Boxing day but overindulgence on Christmas day put paid to that, especially when it started to rain heavily. Saturday was dull but warm for this time of year so we made up sandwiches and some soup and the obligatory tea and set off, traffic was lighter than we thought it would be, a stop at St Fillans to get a dull photo of the Loch but the thing I didn't get a photo off was our old Cafe at Tullybannocher. The tree just as you go into the carpark had come down (To be fair Iain who lives in Comrie had told me) It damaged two cars and hit the cafe but the guys were dealing with cutting it up so I didn't want to be nosy although at a glance the cafe seemed ok. It is immaterial since I don't suppose it will open as a cafe again but I though you would like to know.
As we approached Glen Ogle it got wet, then Killin, wetter but It cleared to just a dull drizzle at Kenmore so we stopped to have our picnic, the roads were empty which was brilliant, something you never get outwith this period, we decided to go over Glenquaich which was wet but refreshing, all in all a grand day and good to get a run in at this time of year.
Now waiting for another "Storm" over the next few days and of course 2025 is just around the corner so let me wish you all a happy and prosperous New Year, my resolution is to do more miles and have more laughs, so should yours be!
