04/11 One trip out from Edenholme today, piloted by Pat with outrider Kam.

We had regulars Jimmy and Margaret, and since it was only one trip we decided to go to the castle, enjoying the views. At the castle, Margaret had a surprise visit from her son!

It was sunny, on the cool side, but no wind, an absolutely wonderful outing.

30/10 Today we had two trips out from The Bungalow, piloted by Shirley and George and outrider'd by Kam.

On the first trip, we had Ashleigh and her mum Carolyn, and Nathaniel and carer Carrie. We rode to the harbour, where we saw kayakers, then we rode to the Craws Nest and back.

On the second trip, we had Taylor & carer Paul. On this trip we also went to the harbour, then to the Craws Nest, and then back home.

What a nice day out, getting colder, but thankfully no wind! All parties had a good time.

29/10 Such a lovely day for the trishaw ride from Clashfarquhar, with beautiful blue skies & very little wind, which makes a change after a stormy few days. Lyn and Iain were pilots, and Linda was outrider. On the first trip there was Sybil, Sandy, Billy, and Ian. The 2nd trip included Agnes, Anne, Gillian, and Ann. They all really enjoyed the trip down to the harbour and along to Cowie. As per usual there were lots of dog walkers and people enjoying the views of the calm sea. Sandy was telling us about his time working in the post office in St.Cyrus and how much he enjoyed the wonderful beach there. A very pleasant trip out.

19/10 Beautiful blue skies and sunshine for both our trips from Havencourt today. On our first run, pilots Sarah and Gordon and outrider Jenny were joined by Alison, Lesley, Albert and Agnes, all frequent flyers. We had a very relaxed, leisurely trip down round the harbour, stopping for a while to talk to some boys who were fishing off the outer harbour wall.
We followed the same route on our second run with 4 more equally happy passengers, and this time one of the young fishermen showed Diane and carer Lucy some of their catch.

15/10 Two trips out today from Clashfarquhar House, wonderfully piloted by Gillian and Lyn, and outrider'd by Kam. Our first trip out was with Jeanie, Agnes, Sybill, and Wendy, and on our second trip we had Muriel, Dorothy, Ann, and Billy.

We rode to Cowie on both trips by way of the boardwalk. We stopped at the Craws Nest, and also stopped to visit the chickens, or rather, the Cowie Cluckers.

On our second trip, we were also allowed to take a tour of the RV Park at Cowie thanks to park managers Jon and Sofie.

There was a lot of lively conversation across a wide variety of subjects, and great weather to be out and about. We all had a lovely time, passengers and pilots alike.

13/10 Out came the sun! We had a lovely sunny trip from Mowat Court down Woodcot Brae to the harbour and along to the Craws Nest today.

Maura and Helen were chatty and seemed to really enjoy their trip, ably piloted by Mo, stopping to pat the dogs and admire the views. Seonaid was giving Gaelic lessons to pilot Sarah and co-resident Sandra, so we all, including outrider Dave, learned how to say “it’s cold” in preparation for winter trips.

Just those four brave souls today, as the morning had been so wet to start.

08/10 A fine Autumn day for two trips from Edenholme, chilly to start but with the sun out.

On our first trip Paula piloted Morag and Helen, with Margaret and carer Kelly being piloted by Martin. Pat was our outrider. Quiet in the town but plenty of waves and smiles.

On our second trip Paula piloted Mary and Donald, while Martin had George and Arthur. We went to the outer harbour to see fishermen and their catch, but unfortunately no bites at that point. On our way back we met Mina and owner Jagoda. Jagoda kindly supplied George with dog treats for Mina. We also met Penny with owner Kyle.

Two successful and enjoyable outings with plenty of chat.

07/10 Today's journey was from Haven Court. We did 2 trips, with Joyce, Betty, Don, and John on the first trip, and Mary, Bea, Thelma, and Nan on our second. Our intrepid pilots were Sarah and Lyn, with Kam as outrider.

On our first trip we ran into the Stonehaven Land Train, driven by our very own CWAS pilot Garry. He stopped and had a chat with all of us. We headed to the harbour and John mentioned the song "Wand'rin' Star" from the musical "Paint Your Wagon." We found the song on the web and had a sing-along at the pier. John still knows all the words!

Our second trip was just as pleasant as the first. Nan mentioned her days as a professional dancer, and Bea reminisced about riding her horse to school. When Bea got to school she could just tell her horse to go home.

Stonehaven was at its brilliant Autumn best, crisp temperature and warm sun. It was a lovely day out.

05/10 Lovely morning for 2 trips out from the Bungalow piloted by Joanne and George, and outrider'd by James. It was a bit chilly to start but soon warmed up, and our passengers enjoyed the gentle breeze throughout the rides.

First out were Ashleigh and mum Carolyn, along with Scott and carer Tracey. The trip was down to the harbour to Botany Bay. No swimmers, but plenty of canoeists out on the water. We took a trip to the end of the outer harbour to get the panoramic views back to Stonehaven, then back along the boardwalk and up through Pinky Promise to head back up to the Bungalow to pick up our passengers for the second trip.

This time it was Abby and Tyler accompanied by carers Leah and Carrie. For this trip we took the Bervie Braes up to the viewpoint, then back down, and a short trip through the harbour, through Old Pier Close, then back along the boardwalk and up through town via Pinky Promise.

On both trips the town was a bit quieter as most of the tourists have gone, but still plenty of folks out with dogs, or mums with young kids to wave to. Another fantastic morning.

02/10 A very happy couple of trips from Clashfarquhar this morning. The sun shone and the wind felt warm. Our first trip had frequent flyers Muriel and Agnes, plus Iain and Anne. Second trip was with Billy and Margaret, plus Valerie and Marion. Lots of friendly faces at the harbour and along the boardwalk. Daisy the dog was out walking with owner Pat, and Daisy was happy to cuddle in with our first trip passengers. Ainsley and Pat were our expert pilots today with equally expert Susan as outrider.
