Looks like a good week end, sorry I missed it and sorry to hear of the spils, hope Tiff and Fatchap are OK.

As I was not there, what happened Colin ?


well...

Colin was enjoying the beautiful scenery so much that he decided to do a bit of off-roading. Which then involved the company of a 4x4 and some rope. excl.gif

I on the other hand was enjoying the roads so much, that I decided to take a closer look!
Turned out the road wasn't as pretty close up.
.. Although the ambulance driver did look a bit like George Clooney! Which was nice!
Shame I hadn't shaved my legs that morning eh? rolleyes.gif

Well there was yet another Highland Carpe-TDM G2G yesterday. All that were invited turned up (i.e. me rolleyes.gif ). It was a bit nippy up in Tomintoul (but sunny and bright), but the road over to Dufftown was glorious.

Mucho fun was had by all.

Findhorn Bay



The end of the runway at RAF Kinloss - note the last of the Nimrods on the left



Pretty damn scenic eh?



Onwards to Tomintoul



Fancy a dram? The Glenlivet Distillery in the distance.



Thomas Telford's bridge at Craigellachie



Cheers


Snorvey


Did I mention 135mph?

And that's official

Little bit of a post-scipt to the Aviemore Adventure: the Bunkhouse has a write up in the Travel section of today's Grauniad (p4). Includes piccie of our room and live music.

Wonder if they will put prices up next year now they have national recognition.....
