Home straight!!!!!

By |2019-02-24T00:10:51+00:0011 July 2015|Tour de Stade, Tours|

We came back to reality with a bump, as we returned to the Glasgow area, and Greenock Morton was the next stop. The ground, again like a few others, is not situated in the best of areas, and wasn’t the most enjoyable visit, especially as we never got into the ground! Like Firhill before it, [...]

West and South West Scotland

By |2019-02-24T00:10:51+00:0011 July 2015|Tour de Stade, Tours|

Final day, home straight and finish line in sight! Today we had to tick off a couple Central belt grounds, before heading south and west, before finishing up in Glasgow again. First up, was Hamilton, and possibly one of the surprises of the tour. Apart from having a nice little new stadium, much like many [...]

Return to Central Scotland

It is amazing, for such a small country, the difference in local cultures in Scotland. Having spent the morning and early afternoon in the North East, we were not re-entering the central belt of Scotland. There is just a different vibe to all these places, and especially as begin talking to people. Stirling Albion were [...]

The North East

Up, breakfast, in the van, gone! That was basically our morning in Keith. Straight on to the road, heading east to Aberdeen, via Peterhead, where we were to meet Ian’s brother David to let us in. Unbeknown to Ian, we had a trick in store from him. David, who had a key, claimed to not [...]

Fife to the Highlands

Next up, was the Kingdom of Fife! Having spent some time in Dunfermline, playing football at the stadium, I was looking forward to going back. Tickets were getting sold for the up and coming play off games, so it was quite busy around the ground, but inside, again, were a couple of groundsmen, who let [...]

Edinburgh

  We are blessed in Scotland to have such a wonderful capital city. From the imposing castle, the elegant George street, stunning Arthur's seat, and that famous Leith sunshine, Edinburgh has it all. I was very fortunate to spend 5 years studying and working in Edinburgh. I grew to love my adopted city, especially during [...]

An incredible amount of preparation went into the the organising of this epic journey. Ian had spent weeks arranging with football grounds, gaining sponsorship, and co-ordinating all the partcipants to meet in Berwick, to stay the night before the start. Claire, Michelle, Ian, Lawrence and myself  hit the road. The Journey begins... We arrived in [...]
