I live in Edinburgh, Scotland which is a really great City for local hill and wood area walks. If you live here, you are always nearby a good trail with elevation to get the required headspace.
I work from home, so getting out at least once a day is obviously important. It’s easy to let things slip on intense work days, which results in the body taking a hit. Whether it’s diet, exercise or even bad posture; if you’re doing something unsustainable and consistently for a period, it’ll creep up on you and you’ll feel it eventually.
The local hill linked above is the most local to my home, which takes about 15 minutes (rushed walk) to reach the top. I walk up through some alleyway between non-residential areas and then straight onto the path of the hill. It’s 158 meters high according to Wikipedia. Here are a few pics on the way up.
It’s an easy climb even for kids. You can see the surrounding golf course 1/3 of the way, then off to the top.
When I arrive at the top I have a spot I usually sit at for 15 minutes, if it’s not raining etc.
I often take a few photos when I’m up, as you can see. I’m getting a lot of sunset pictures, with most of Edinburgh City being in the opposite direction of the Sun. Here are a few good pictures of Edinburgh.
We had one night up here for Bonfire Night – the fireworks were all a bit distant but we had a lovely night. Any excuse to get up here I’ll do it since it’s so quick and easy.
I normally head down the opposite way to avoid the same scenery, and maybe head to Tesco on the way home for a lunchtime meal deal on the way back.
Anyway… a personal blog post has been published here. I hope you enjoyed it.
