Here are my two girls on a tree top walk. I took this photo at Christmas time when we were visiting the in-laws up in Scotland.
The original picture was in colour, but putting it in black and white gives you a much more realistic idea of just how misty and cold it was! I’ve got other pictures taken on the same walk that show you could barely see your hand right in front of your face. It was genuine case of Scotch mist.
Anyway, having spent several days celebrating Christmas with both my family and then my wife’s one after the other (I worked out we drove a total of 1,000 miles in five days), I felt a desperate need to get out with the kids. This treetop walk at a nearby country park was absolutely perfect.
It was cold, refreshing and the air, though damp, was clean and not at all stuffy. We all felt much better afterwards.

By the way, I’ve just published a book. It’s about my life as a stay at home dad and I also write a little bit about blogging. It’s called A modern father (…and dad blogger) and you can read all about it here.

This sounds like the perfect way to get some fresh air during the festive time. I love the photo on B&W it really adds to the atmosphere
You’re quite right Darren, it was the perfect way to get some much needed fresh air.
This sounds like just the outdoor escape you needed to get away from the craziness of Christmas. It looks like the kids are having a fab time even if it’s misty and dismal. Thanks for linking up with Country Kids.
Thanks for hosting. It was a great Christmas get away and much needed!
Looks high! Yes I can see the fog! When I see fog they usually remind me of horror movies =P #countrykids
Yes, I can see why you think of horror movies. It was a little like AMerican Werewolf in London.
This photo is amazing and although I haven’t seen the colour version the B&W gives it a fantastic perspective – and it does look cold but crisp. I know what you mean about Christmas, there is a lot of indoor time and sometimes you just need to escape into the outdoors. The treetop walk looks amazing!

I had to escape Tracey. That fresh air was very much needed!

that sounds like quite an adventurous walk in the mist!
Great photo! Nothing like getting out in the fresh air, no matter how misty it is, to clear the mind! Congrats on the book too!
Goodness, this treetop walk looks inspirational! What a fantastic place. I wonder if there are any like this down south? You really do get a sense of the misty, freezing atmosphere in that photo.
Oh there are tree top walks south of the border…although I don’t think I’ve only ever walked them on the other side of Hadrian’s Wall.
