Oh gosh, this fortnight has been so incredibly busy for me. I think I've just about sorted my kit for Tanzania and naturally, my room looks like a bomb hit it. In between picking up last minute stuff for my bags (e.g. nice, tasty things!) and getting my final vaccinations (six injections in total), I've also been walking fair distances when I can. My main and favourite route has been the western side of the Capital Ring walk. 

With my trip to Tanzania just six weeks away (gulp), I've been having to step up my game. While that generally translates to forcing myself out of bed to the gym as often as possible, I've also been doing some hill walking around Stirling. With Gowan Hill practically on my doorstep, I try to grab a quick walk up it frequently throughout the week.

There's a pretty nice view from the top...
