		<description><![CDATA[Mid May took us to Muck visiting.
Follow the road from the pier, as you approach the prow of the hill &#8211; slowly ambling past darkly ploughed fields  &#8211; the rest of the Small Isles open before you, smudged hills clasped to the sea.

With kids, charcoal, beers, salad and catch of the day we set [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=roughbounds.wordpress.com&blog=3364685&post=32&subd=roughbounds&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The path in from Acharn takes you along the southern shore of the Loch. I first walked it in Winter. Brown and damp. It leads to Arienas Point. A closely grazed green finger that stretches out from the heaps of ordered stones. Here the Oak peters out and gives way to Ash. Here the signs [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=roughbounds.wordpress.com&blog=3364685&post=26&subd=roughbounds&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The boat crunched on the gravel. Telescope, binoculars, flask. The birch is just opening its leaves, in the light rain they glow pale green. Through the trees we settle on a small rise and unpack lunch, pore a coffee, and wait.
A dark wet hill rises from and surrounds the bay. It is thick with rain [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=roughbounds.wordpress.com&blog=3364685&post=17&subd=roughbounds&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The boat skimmed out the river mouth and around the point &#8211; onto to the loch, into the breeze. A thin plume of smoke drifted from a bank of Scots Pines on the opposite shore. Scanning, we noticed something red. Moving closer we saw a canadian canoe pulled up on the shore and a tent [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=roughbounds.wordpress.com&blog=3364685&post=16&subd=roughbounds&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On the way to work I often find myself lingering at the deep drainage ditches that run along the side of road. Long streaks of toad spawn, or dense clusters of frog spawn, sometimes something a little more exciting &#8211; perhaps a common newt.  I used to walk this road to school; we would [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=roughbounds.wordpress.com&blog=3364685&post=5&subd=roughbounds&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
