A couple of pints somewhere north?

This is sounding like the Scottish version of ' Brief Encounter'.

If you wave a bottle of Lagavulin at me, our encounter will not be brief.....

It's going to be Summer this weekend ( only ) Iain, so make the best of it.
Also, it's going to be windy so make sure that beard is well tied down

Classic Scottish - look oot the windae - weather. Yesterday was horrendous. Rain coming down in stair rods. Snow up north. Cancelled my trip ad room at Portsoy. This morning - fair and even some sunshine. Later today, storm Kathleen incoming!

Mad winds today but very warm !
I stopped at a junction in the middle of Burghead and was hit by a freak gust...took all my strength to keep the Super Tenere upright.
It's not the wind strength, the gusts were savage..similar tomorrow.
Would not be a good couple of days for a bike trip.

Inverness, 10th April, 1500
Location to be confirmed depending on numbers but, options include Blackfriars, Black Isle Brewery or Macgregor's

Let's say Macgregors, nice pub. If it's full we can go elsewhere but should be okay at that time of day

Looks very decent, quite a number of taps there so should be some nice session beers to choose from.
Food ?

They open at 4pm, so maybe the Black Isle first ?

I'm coming down for a pint or two too, where is everyone meeting up and what time ?

Ah ... Burghead! Stuck out in the firth and those wide streets! Great place to fly a kite!

Nice sunsets though ...

Pitlochry Station looking spick and span..

Inverness to Edinburgh is one of the best railway trips.

North into the realms of properly managed heather moorland, tumbling burns and sll that sort of stuff...
