Skooters

Well, this is curious. Mike, who sometimes lives in his own world, sometimes thinks of himself as some kind of great athletic hiker, backpacker, hill walker. And, to be fair, that is true. However, it is not true all of the time.

Recently, he joined a second hill walking club. Now, besides the hill walks we do together, he is out and about in the stunning countryside hill walking with a new set of friends. On a recent hill walk, which was on one of the many long distance paths in Scotland, the Fife Pilgrim Way, and after a stretch of challenging rain, he and the group he was hill walking with overtook a group in motorized scooters (see photo).

That's right, Mike's big accomplishment on that particular hill walk was to walk faster than a bunch of really old and infirmed people on motorized scooters on flat terrain. What a guy...
