September 2, 2023,Bridges Loop with Simon ~ STOAT T2347

Superb weather today, the familiar Bridges loop :-)

July 23, 2025,Bridges Loop & North Queensferry explore ~ STOAT T2548

Two GPX errors in this tour (my mistakes) exported corrected and re-imported the GPX. The actual run time was 5.3 Hour not 6.5 and it was 460 Mt. Vertical Images lost their Geotags as well, but the locations are self explanatory. :-)

August 18, 2023,Before the Storm arrives, the Bridges ~ STOAT T2343

Bridges Loop with a few changes. Testing the New non-stick Titanium Camp pan which worked brilliantly, hot scrambled eggs on the move. That'll be good on those Winter tours :-)

June 13, 2023,The Bridges Loop + Dalgety Bay ~ STOAT T2330

Working the post Covid lungs a little harder. Also Rescued a lad with broken chain, Hero Mode is on.
