Because the weather was lovely and had to get out.

If Ive got these in the right order, you should be looking down a gorge. Doesnt look deep ..does it ? I reckon it was about 70ft. Just about shitin me pants. the rocks were slippy.

Lovely day. Good to get away from you moanin bastids for a while. Was it good for you to get rid of a moanin bastid for a while ?
 
Here is another one.
I had to crawl along a tree branch over the gorge to get this.
Hope you appreciate the danger i put myself in for your pleasure.

Proud of you Den.

Thats the True GS Type. :bow :bow :bow It is great. Since I had the GS (white one like the origanal, when will I give up on that)? I have found loads of Fun a few 100ks from home. My new addition will be a Tube containing my Fold Away Fishing Rod. I take a Thermos some 'samies'... It sounds 'strange' but I figure its what I'm into now. Just de-stressing!! Right get away from the... BIGJim. Tassy Aust. :beerjug:
 
Well done that man

All action hero Den...Where were those falls? Sure I've been there before.
 
They are at the western end of the south Lochearnhead road.
As usual the photos dont show the 'bigness' of them.
 
Is it close to Edinample Castle then?
And does that sign of "Road Closed" mean the south Lochearn Road is closed?
 
If its this castle, yes.
Looks like the road will be closed (only at the end, you can still drive along it if yer goin fishin) for a wee whiley yet.

'Memories'

Lovely photos Den, been there when that tree branch was just a twig---thanks for jogging the old memory bank. I was one of the old-timers, tho' not as old as sum who met for a drum-up on the north side of the loch most Sundays and occasional Wednesday's.

The original members of the gang were Vincent owners and their brew-up spot was on the south shore untill they'd burned all the spare wood on that side. There were sum hardy old boys around, George Ramsay springs to mind, a pioneer of pre-war touring in Europe --- after being reduced to one pin he put a sidecar on his K and still ran out there regularly from Glasgow.

givit :rob
