A nice 6 isd day potter for some..shorter for some, longer for those transiting into English airspace.

No plan survives first contact with the enemy..our first morning route to Kintyre was blocked by an overnight rock/mud slide..

So a 60 mile detour and we we were back in businsss.

Our two nights in the a ‘romantic’ hotel near Kilchrenan was a remake of Fawlty Towers…

However the result was we ate out at a great seafood restaurant in Oban and had a nice brekkie in Tyndal…

Weather was a bit mixed ..no really heavy rain but a few showers ..still managed more than 50% top down..

Sadly had to leave a day early due to a dear friends funeral near Cambridge.

Thanks to everyone making it a great bash..IMG_0405.jpegIMG_0411.jpegIMG_0413.jpegIMG_0417.jpegIMG_0418.jpegIMG_0419.jpegIMG_0419.jpegIMG_0424.jpegIMG_0427.jpegIMG_0426.jpegIMG_0428.jpeg
 
A few more …the old inn at Glenuig is now under community ownership and looks really good compared to the faded Inn of a few years ago..IMG_0439.jpegIMG_0440.jpegIMG_0441.jpegIMG_0442.jpegIMG_0444.jpegIMG_0445.jpegIMG_0277.jpegIMG_0280.jpegIMG_0278.jpeg
 
Thanks to everyone who took part for making it such an enjoyable trip, but special thanks as always to Peter for organising a great event. :thumbsup:
