Nice wee report Mark. Your photography is shit but it we get the gist of the trip :D
Wasn't planning on doing the photo rally this year but it looks as though there are some nice wee spots to visit so I might pick out a few and plan a weekend.
See you soon.

Good man Mark.
Aye, the road out to Dunlewy can unseat you if you're riding quick!
Camped out by the Dunlewy church a couple of weekends ago and there are a couple of angry landowners to be aware of but we did find an area of commonage which placated them somewhat :D
