The weather has been absolutely wonderful here in Aberdeen the past week so I spent a good bit of time over the weekend out walking about the city and countryside. Over the weekend I walked a distance of at least 70km (30km on Saturday and 40km on Sunday). The maps below give a fairly good outline of the routes taken.
Saturday
Saturday 26th May 2012, I set off with my camera to take some photographs of the New Build of Robert Gordon University at Garthdee. Ventured up Tullows Hill, then out westwards along the riverbank before meeting up with the Deeside Railway Line heading out to Culter. Had a short look around Culter, and of course picked up some ice-cream along the way. Then it was back to Aberdeen via the Deeside Railway Line, and back to the Garthdee campus to get some photographs of the Northern face of the New Build.
Sunday
Sunday 27th May 2012, Started out at RGU Garthdee, then on to Kincorth Hill, along the coast, back to the harbour out towards the beach, all the way up to the end of the beach, back down and up again (jogging most of the way) then on to Seaton Park, the Great Northern Road, down Anderson Drive and back to the RGU Campus, Garthdee.
Boy, that’s some walkabout/runabout! Where are the photos?
You can find some of the photos in the previous two post, and perhaps one or two of the next posts to appear.
Sounds like a wonderful adventure. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for dropping by, it was certainly a great way to spend the weekend. The weather today started out as it was over the weekend with the sun shining, but by perhaps 11:00 it had turned quite overcast and the temperature dramatically dropped. The age old saying – make hay while the sun shines – certainly holds true.
Love the photo location map!
