Perth
Petite halte à Perth, située à 1h30 de train au nord d'Édimbourg (oui c'est mon unité de mesure).
Beaucoup plus calme que la capitale, elle l'a pourtant été pendant 3 siècles !
Tumblr media
A la sortie du train je découvre une ville calme et ne croise aucun backpacker sur 2 kms. Je prends conscience que cette étape sera reposante.
Tumblr media
Qu'à cela ne tienne, pas du tout, j'en profite pour me promener sur Kinnoull Hill et ce fut assez sportif, il y a de quoi se perdre dans ses dédales de chemins mais on n'a rien sans rien comme on dit, non ?!

Near Willowgate Activity Centre and Cafe, Perth, Scotland
When you follow the river Tay downstream you get to this nice area, where a lot of people fish or just sit and enjoy the nice view on the Kinnoull Hill cliffs. You can catch boat trips from here or just have a cup of tea. It’s a short and pleasant walk, especially in the summer when all the flowers and berries are out. We were eating delicious raspberries and red-currants along the way!

Despite staying just 12 miles away for the last nine years, and despite driving past it several hundred times over the years, I'd never actually been up Kinnoull Hill till yesterday! :-o I know, it's shocking. But knowing that it's a popular destination for our Ramblers groups I thought I'd wait till one of them was heading up, so that I could tag along.
Soooo, yesterday I joined Monklands Ramblers for a half-day jaunt from Perth, up around the forest trails. As President of Ramblers Scotland I've walked with 35 of our 54 groups over the last two years and Monklands are easily the most diverse group I've met so far - all ages from weans up through 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond.....plus a dog.....from all kinds of backgrounds, all walking together and having a grand day out in Perth :) Oh and of course, coffee 'n' breakfast at Dobbies in the morning and a drink or two at the pub in Perth afterwards ;-)
It was great to meet several newbies who were on one of their first walks with the group, and to hear about their experience of taking the plunge with the Ramblers. Something I'd not actually considered till yesterday was how nervous folk get when they're turning up for the first time - a mix of trepidation and anxiety, not sure whether it's for them or whether they'll be welcome.....but they all said without hesitation that the nervousness abated instantly as soon as they turned up, as they found the group so friendly and welcoming. Really good to hear!
Monklands Ramblers are based around Airdrie and Coatbridge, and walks every other weekend, hiring a coach and heading out on all kinds of walks from rivers to forests to munros. The next walks are Saturday 16th March, when there are two options: Beinn Each above Loch Lubnaig, or a walk through Glen Ample to Lochearnhead. New folk always welcome, so check out their rather nice new website for details: http://monklandsramblers.com/

Having explored quite a few of Edinburgh’s hiking spots, I decided it was time to expand a little bit. Looking at day trips to be made by train, I came upon Perth, the fair city. The town looked cute, the ride was cheap and there was a nice hill nearby. It is a truth universally acknowledged that you get tired of slipping and falling on your ass eventually. A few days before, I had finally found a good, affordable pair of hiking boots in a charity shop, so it was time to test them out. Because everything in Britain closes at 5pm, we decided to walk around town first, checking out museums and gardens, and then get to the hill. By the time we started moving towards our main destination, we had already walked quite a bit. Kinnoull Hill stands 220m above the ground, looking at the River Tay and Friarton Bridge. Google Maps told us to go around the hill and start from the main avenue, but we are young and reckless, so we decided to follow the pedestrian signs instead, which led to a beautiful forest - and nothing else. After that first sign that said “Kinnoull Hill - 2.5km”, we were on our own. At some point, though, we managed to get back on track, crossing paths with a few people. Hiking is always different in different countries. The routes, the hikers and, of course, the landscape. Hiking in Scotland, the most striking thing to me is the people. They are insane. It’s not abnormal to see middle-aged men and women running up hills wearing nothing but basic gym clothes in the worst possible weather conditions. This time, what caught my attention was a mother and her young daughter, around 8 years old. They were carrying big shopping bags, and there were some pretty steep paths on the way. I was very sceptical about them reaching the top. But reach it they did. I said to Lew: “Look! They made it, and they’re carrying big shopping bags!”, to which he replied: “Yes, and you couldn’t lag behind, so you shoved three extra books in your backpack.” What can I say? Drummond would totally get me: In the middle of the road there was a Salvation Army. There was a Salvation Army in the middle of the road. The view from the top was incredible. Once again I had that humble sensation of smallness, that gratefulness for being able to touch and look at nature from such a privileged position. Nature is so much bigger than us. “What are men to rocks and mountains?” Of course we got lost on the way back, despite Lew’s impromptu impersonation of Aragorn, trying to guide us through the woods and reaching a giant fence instead. No biggie. We managed to break into private property, emerging miles away from where we intended to be, but we got out at last. The ride back to Edinburgh was magical, with an open view of the North Sea as we crossed Forth Bridge. I almost forgot about the giant blisters on my feet as I looked out the window. Later they would hurt like hell, of course, but at that moment nothing surpassed the infinite peace of the ocean.
