Thanks
Consider it being considered... Hopefully a few more Scots will turn up and we can take longer to venture farther north. B&Bs are a requirement though, I'm done with camping - I refuse to miss another early morning blast

Twas one of the best nights sleep I've had in a tent - and the A road early morning blast hunting out breakfast was 15 minutes of awesome, rather than 40 minutes of scenery.Bing wrote:B&Bs are a requirement though, I'm done with camping - I refuse to miss another early morning blast

That might work for me, but WB will probably not be persuaded... Though there are places that a B&B may not be possible, like Applecross.Bing wrote:Thanks

You are right of course, that was the perfect bite-sized blastGuiseley wrote:

I think 'intimidating' is a bit strong... But it focused the attention. Your and jaRED's advice throughout was very welcome though, especially the concise and direct manner of that from your good ladyGuiseley wrote:Must mean Ian and Craig I guess, as they joined waaayyy back - just as well a11y didn't come along too then if long-service is intimidatingBing wrote:amongst them some whom I consider to be ‘proper’ lifers
@Lynchy - you'd have loved it mate, next time

All going well we can have more Scottish forum members in attendance next time

+3 Some lovely roads Ade & Liz Flint arranged a run around the Elan valley area for the Alpina forums last year and, although the scenery wasn't quite as spectacular as that on the Skye run, it was a most enjoyable weekendBing wrote:Wales - I like that idea
