Another warm, and eventually sunny day. Nine walkers started from Burghead, along the cliffs and beach to Lossiemouth. 9 miles packed with interest and the unexpected.

First, we met Marley, the Egyptian talking dog, with whom it was difficult to get a word in edgeways. Then the cliffs above Hopeman, famous for dinosaur footprints and caves, used as a refuge by Charles Edward Stuart when in retreat from Culloden.

On the golden sands at Covesea, we happened upon the fearless Logan, a four year old quad biker who was happy to demonstrate his considerable skills.

 

 

 

Even more surprising was the sight of Margaret paddling in the sea – the first time she had done so in 11 years living in Lossiemouth.

 

Finally, to finish off the culinary theme of the last post, we discovered Margaret and Mary do like raspberries and apple (especially in cake!) but Chris was in agreement with her colleagues in announcing that ‘apricots aren’t everybody’s cup of tea’ – surely the quote of the day.
