Ullapool was overcast, overpriced (£3.90 a pint and £19.95 a curry,£1.39.8ltr ) The rowers were ok. I headed south this morning for some heat. Enjoyed my wee trip.

 

[Big Jets]

I went up to Glen Nevis camp site on Monday Afternoon ,Got up early and was on top of Ben Nevis for 11.00.Then headed back down the road to Lie out my back garden with a cold beer .Fort Bill was Scorchio and it wsas far to hot to lie about the tent .I seen the weather report for Ullapool and it was not to clever so like GC I stayed south .Hope your trip goes well Pablo

 

[gerarddwatts]

Well.....too still, too bright, too hungover.....yup fishing was shite.

Had a tour down thru Lochinver(pies) look at skiffs in Ullapool, great run down, shame I was in the L/Rover (new one arriving next week....well this one has done 7000 miles and isn't shiny any more.....saves me having to wash it if I get a new one.....) saw a lot of GS's on the road. Probably some of you boys?

Ach well back to work for a day or 2......grass cutting in the sun tomorrow.....

Just back today, with the exception of day 2, wed when the route was along the north coast and back down east coast to dornoch, crap weather 12degrees and one was not dressed for it froze my tits off Had a great trip.
Highlights were around Lochinver and Moray/Aberdeenshire where I hadnt travelled before, some fab roads and great weather.
