First visit of the year to #Gravelfoyle. Glorious morning light today, bringing the somewhat dull colours of Scottish winter to life. I really enjoy riding around there, in spite of the mess of the ongoing forestry operations — I was hoping #ScottishForestry would leave at least the forest in the vicinity of Loch Ard alone, but it doesn’t look like it. Shame, just about the only mature forest easily accessible from the Central Belt, always teeming with families.
