    There is a huge car park (you do have to pay) and a well defined path all the way up alongside the river offering amazing views of the Fairy Pools and the waterfalls along the way.

    Butteries!!! They used to sell them in the school canteen at Mackie Academy in Stonehaven - no wonder I was a chubby kid!!

    I was there about 15 years ago and you had to search to find The Fairy Pools now from viewing your blog there are signs and structured paths and God knows what else soon you’ll have to wear PPE equipment and require a pass, sad times from a previously splendid location I’ve got some amazing photographs.

      @@JustinWhiting9 I hadn't seen the unedited comment so I wouldn't worry about it. Especially as I'm prone to carrying out booze fuelled message rampages myself. Usually involving lassies, right enough, or telling my Norwegian best friend that I love him like my brother (I don't have a brother), haha! 😂🍻👍 It's usually is positive over the top well meaning stuff though. I'm not really one for criticism or anything negative: unless it's a particular bad night and it's to the ex givin' it, 'you never really loved me, did you?! 😪'. Hahaha! That's not good stuff. 🤐 Although having a dark sense of humour at times makes me think it is funny in a way after the initial embarrassment! Like what a nightmare I can be.
      I assume you have heard of 'The Fear'? Like the fear you feel the morning after a booze sesh when you can't quite remember what you were doing or saying and feel riddled with anxiety about it. Often it then involves a frantic search through your social media accounts for evidence or calls to friends to see if the fear is justified. Sometimes you are like, 'phew', or other times you are like, 'Oh naw, ohhh NAW!' Hahaha!

    • @JustinWhiting9
      @JustinWhiting9 5 років тому +1

      It wasn't negative, but I thought better of it the next day. Never heard of 'the fear', interesting, must be triggered from personal conscience I guess. Our normal social filters fall away under the influence, then come back strong afterwards. The sense of anxiety and guilt you mentioned, even though you don't know why. I guess it's because we don't trust ourselves. Still, if the alternative is no beer, then I'd rather take the risk.... and try my best to behave myself!
