DAYS LIKE THIS, NO 27: THE OLD MAN OF HOY

Posted on October 13, 2017 by McFadzean

ROBERT Louis Stevenson; John Buchan; Enid Blyton; Daniel Defoe; Jules Verne;
William Golding; Arthur Ransome; CS Lewis: Jonathan Swift; RM Ballantyne. They
had many things in common. But the link that draws this diverse scattering of
authors into one archipelago is their love of islands, and their recognition
that islands can be places of mystery, danger and adventure. What could stir the
imagination of a walker Reasons Why You Should Climb A Mountain more than a boat
trip to an island and the chance to explore its hidden places? What could be
more romantic than to navigate the legendary waters of Scapa Flow and disembark
on the island of Hoy for a hike to its most famous feature . . . ? Continue

AN UNEASY NIGHT ON CERRO DE LA SALCHICHA

Posted on September 25, 2017 by McFadzean

SPENDING a night on the summit of a mountain, watching the sun sink into a
splash of gold and the constellations revolve in blue-black emptiness, does have
a romance and a sense of adventure about it. Travel for modern man provides an
excellent opportunity to explore the world around us. Not only have they become
more accessible in recent years, but they have also greatly expanded the
geography of travel to any corner of the globe. Sometimes travel experiences are
used to write all sorts of essays in which various claims are supported by
practical experience. You don't have to use your travel experience yourself
professionally with a useful purpose, our experts help with do my paper requests
- just leave an application on our platform and specify the necessary data for
writing an independent paper. And in case you're struggling with a case study,
term paper, research paper or dissertation, this paper writing service is
definitely the one you need to use! Don't waste your time writing papers -
better hurry up to discover new experiences. There is something raw and
primeval, and almost spiritual, about night-time in the mountains. Where the
grit of the earth meets the majesty of space, senses are sharpened and awareness
heightened. Up there, in high places when the sun goes down, our perceptions
alter. And so does the world . . . Continue reading →

RIVERS AND ROCKS, TRACKS AND TUNNELS

Posted on September 15, 2017 by McFadzean

DAWN in a river valley. Ink-blue shadows beneath tall mountains. A chill in air
that is perfectly still. Smell of piny trees and the sound of rushing water.
Pin-pricks of red lights as a truck crosses the Seven-Eye Bridge. Day is coming.
Time to zip up the jacket and move off . . . Continue reading →

OF MICE, MEN, MOUNTAINS AND MOTORS

Posted on September 4, 2017 by McFadzean

The Sierra de Contraviesa with its head in the clouds

AS the celebrated Scottish poet Rabbie Burns scribbled in the year 1785: ???The
best-laid schemes o??? mice an??? men gang aft agley/an??? lea???e us nought but
grief an??? pain for promis???d joy.??? How true. In early July, amid the heat
and dust of a Spanish summer, I made clear my intention to resume some serious
mountain walking. Scarce had these words left my keyboard like chaff on the wind
when the van broke down. It has been off the road ever since with a malady so
incurable that four trips to the local mechanic have failed to address the
problem. A shiny new set of spark plugs, replacement distributer cap, overhauled
and retuned carburettor, and the testing of high-tension leads and various other
parts, have failed to relieve its coughing and spluttering. Like Burns??? wee
mouse it lies forlorn and incapacitated. But there is, at last, promis???d joy .

THANKS FOR ESSAY WRITING SERVICES FOR WRITING HELP

Posted on March 15, 2021 by McFadzean

Writing has always fallen in the scope of my interests; however, I cannot say
that it was always easy for me. I enjoyed traveling but also wanted other people
to enjoy reading about my trips, and that’s why I needed to boost my writing
skills. Improving my writing talent was also necessary for getting a higher
education (as I was studying in college majoring in Geography). Thus, I decided
to turn to nursing capstone writing services for help, liked what I got, and now
I want to tell you why they are worth your attention.


WHY SHOULD YOU COOPERATE WITH HANDMADEWRITING.COM AND ESSAYUSA.COM WRITERS?

 * There are a few benefits that you will get by cooperating with professional
   essay writers:
 * Your writing will become more proficient. First of all, once you get to see
   how a pro essay writer deals with an assignment, you will understand how to
   complete similar tasks. Also, you will have a chance to find out secret
   writing tips that will influence the quality of your writing in the long run;
 * You will not have to worry about the quality of your papers. Cooperation with
   an paper writing service has another advantage: you will always get papers
   written up to the highest standards of writing. There will be no worries
   regarding grammar, punctuation, etc. anymore;
 * Your grades will get better. As a result of submitting high-quality papers to
   your instructor, you will get straight A’s. Overall, your grades for courses
   will increase and your GPA can even become high enough for merit-based
   scholarships;
 * You will get more free time. While pro writers are working on your papers,
   you can meet with friends, go on a date with your girlfriend, hike another
   mountain in your state, or travel home to see your parents. Nice perspective,
   isn’t it?
 * You will become more positive and optimistic about your studies. Finally, if
   you hate doing homework, you can delegate it to your essay writer and spend
   time on other classes that you enjoy studying for. Thus, your study will
   become more fun and interesting to you, and you will not perceive college as
   something boring anymore.


HOW TO ORDER AN ESSAY ABOUT TRAVELING?

Ordering travel reasearch paper help is quite an easy process, and that’s the
second thing I’m thankful for to the writing services I cooperated with. You
don’t need to complete lengthy order forms or go through messy registration. All
you need to do is to create an account on their website by entering your email
and creating a password. Right after that, you can go on to ordering your first
paper. To do that, click on the ‘Order Now’ button and fill out all the fields
you see in the form. This information is needed to let the writers know what
kind of paper you need and calculate the price for you. Once you placed an order
essay writer service, pay for it, and wait for the writer to write your paper.
Bingo!


DAYS LIKE THIS, NO 26: FOLLOWING FOOTSTEPS IN FRANCE

Posted on July 26, 2017 by McFadzean

CHILDREN. We encourage them to be like us and share our interests. We expect
them to grow into the shoes of their parents and reach for the heights we failed
to attain. Sometimes they become images of ourselves. Sometimes they don???t.
Perhaps that???s not such a bad thing . . . Continue reading →

DAYS LIKE THIS, NO 25: THE CONSTANT MOUNTAINS

Posted on July 10, 2017 by McFadzean

JUNE 2000: The most noble of plans sinks into dregs outside the Bridge of Orchy
Hotel. I???m walking the West Highland Way, and today I???ve hiked the few miles
along General Wade???s military road from Tyndrum to the scattering of buildings
that is Bridge of Orchy, with the intention of pitching the tent on the
riverbank and climbing Beinn Dorain (pictured) before recommencing my walk
tomorrow. But having downed several pints of beer and a beef sandwich on
arrival, I now feel like dozing in the sunshine. So I do. Take no notice of
Hogarth. Beer is the ruination of the productive classes, not gin . . . Continue

STRANGER IN PARADISE

Posted on July 3, 2017 by McFadzean

A STRANGER emerges from the dawn shadows and threads his way through banks of
oleander and olive trees towards the hidden settlement of El Morreon. The sun
colours the Sierra Nevada and surrounding mountains an indifferent blue, while
in the valleys and rocky barrancos the coolness of night lingers. Not even the
bark of a dog cracks the silence. This is a perfect dawn and the stranger is
part of it . . . Continue reading →

 * BECAUSE THEY'RE THERE is about climbing mountains ??? nothing else. Well,
   actually, there are one or two other things. But it's mostly about climbing
   mountains. And fish and chips. And politics. And doing a bit of fell running.
   And wondering where the hell your life's gone ??? and where it might be going
   next. And cooking kippers in a wet tent. And people you bump into who do
   similar things. Actually, that last one doesn't happen very often . . .
