New Year's Day

Although the weather was not bad, I was a little 'the worst for wear', and that without alcohol.

Wintry showers are one thing, a combination with strong winds puts paid to outside exploits.

3/1/2005

Weather still bad, lots of rain and a gale. Did go out onto the moors, to the north end of Loch nan Eilean and then east to the Garyvard peatroad. The wind nearly blew me off my feet on the top of one hill. Usually I go to hilltops to get my bearings. Found someone faffing with a fence just outside Garyvard. Glad to be inside again, some 20 minutes later.
