12barDavid Mar 2018 6:05pm, 8 Mar 2018 103 posts	0 12barDavid Thanks for the advice JRitchie. I fear at this rate, I’ll be to tired to run on Saturday. Today, Mrs 12bar & I walked along Union Street to the beach. Then walked up to just past the Aberdeen football stadium along the seafront. My wife reckoned she saw a couple of seals in the sea, but I’m not so sure. From there we cut inland & walked up to Seaton Park & walked across the oldest bridge in Great Britain. After that, a brisk walk back into town & fish & chips in Weatherspoons. I’m going for a gentle run about 7 p.m. Mind you, after spending all day walking around, I should think I’ve clocked up enough exercise for the day.

12barDavid Mar 2018 7:34pm, 8 Mar 2018 104 posts	0 12barDavid I forgot to mention the weather. No one on this forum told me I would need factor 50 sun cream. I can’t believe it. By the time we had followed the footpath from Seaton Park alongside the River Don to the Brig o’ Balgownie, we were positively sweating. We had to remove a couple of layers of clothing each it was so hot.
