There is always:
Scrabble, Monopoly, Risk, Checkers...
Or the series DVD of Breaking Bad ...

Remember it can always get worse ...

Great photos OP. :thumbsup:

Glad the weather finally cleared for you - just a shame it took so long!

The roads really are something else aren't they? When I went I still had my 123d, but it wasn't difficult to make "reasonable" progress. :lol:

The next time I go to Scottishland I’m going to play golf and drink the water of life, and it will rain. It always rains in Scotland, Marlon, as you live there I thought you would know that :lol: :lol:

While wandering around near Kilmacolm, my late wife said “the cows are so clean here, why?”
I answered “because they get washed twice a day ... when it rains”

Nice pics :thumbsup:

The last driving day today - travelled south, top down all day and even saw some sun :)

The last 2 days driving have been a pure joy - very few cars around this time of year and great driving roads with twisties and foot down open roads - not to mention the stunning scenery, I'll be back :driving:

Some great photographs. Glad you managed a few days of good weather. We took our caravan up to the West Coast a couple of years ago in August. It rained all the way up and for the whole two weeks except for one day. We sat out in the sun on that day and were eaten alive. Just to rub salt into the wound it rained all the way back. So I guess you got off lightly really. I have never been able to persuade ‘She Who Must Be Obeyed’ to go back since then.

I can here the voices calling me back up there after looking at your pic Marlon, it is a fabulous part of the world, next time try a little further up the west coast as well, round by Applecross, Gairloch etc and avoid September/October :)
