Time is running out till the end of the time to clock up the km before 13/8/23 so I decided to go out again today.
I decided I would like to do the Dundee green circular from Carnoustie so I cycled to Monifeith and started off but the signs near the 7 arches took me up a dead end. So I went up to the A92 to Claypotts and followed the path to Trottick but ran out of signs there. So after a run through Kirkton, the Kingsway and Lochee I found the path again and got to Ninewells.
After stopping for a visit to the Maggie's centre for a cuppa I cycled back home via the coastal path. Not quite the intended route but a lovely cycle on a great day. I did 55 km today which is the longest I have done for years.

Here's another bowl I made recently. It's made from oak worktop and stands on the 4 corner points with the base of the bowl not resting on the surface it stands on.
