A diary of a well busted leg.

[AleisterCrowley]

I still have 2 legs!

Well, there you go, you have an above-average number of legs...

As long as your middle leg is working, all’s well with the world. . You really are a sucker though for punishment. Keeps you fit though mountain climbing.

Know what you mean about the scar being touched. Probably the nerves have been destroyed in that area and it’s an uncomfortable dull feeling.

Windfarm walk today. Windfarms are good because the surface is generally good (if a little rocky in places), they generally follow a large loop and they're hilly.

They can be....errr...windy though. Today was quite breezy, but very sunny and warm with views across the water to the collection of redundant oil rigs at Cromarty and to the hills of Caithness.

A decent workout for the ankle though.

Pics later.

The hills of Caithness?? Sutherland, maybe, but Caithness? Caithness has cliffs but it is not known for its hills.

Morven always stands out from Moray looking north.

It's not particularly tall but it is quite distinctive.

Thanks. It seems to be quite far south but certainly Caithness. Interesting. Most of Caithness is just flat moorland or probably better described as bog, the Flow Country, and of course in the north there are not many trees never mind hills. However Morven is obviously distinctive.

Yes - and the lower Maiden Pap is also a distinctive neighbour - both of which stand out as you drive south from Caithness on the eastern coastal road (as we did a few days ago).

PS - we stopped off for a couple of days with the grandchildren, and visited the Lossie beach. The new bridge is much appreciated - especially by the dog. And it must be a god-send for the Ice Cream parlours.

PPS - my wife's ankle/leg fracture was about 25 years ago - and initially she was very cautious in walking over rough ground, but now she scarcely notices it. She still avoids jumping over burns - but at 75+ that's probably normal.
