A different weekend

I was left to my own devices this weekend as Mrs R had a Yoga workshop up North so I decided to get out with the camera(s) and snap some pics of Autumnal Scotland, nice couple of nights at Sunart Camping on the Ardnamurchan peninsula then a night with David and Anne at Minard and then met up with Fiona at Port Appin for the night. To be honest I was glad not to be on the bike for a change, it was pretty dreich a lot of the time despite the blue skies in the photos. Still a lot of tourists around and even the bloody annoying motorhomes are still in evidence and still being driven by in the main selfish bastards! It also reiterated to me the fact that our cousins in the North get a very raw deal when it comes to mobile coverage and Broadband speeds, shocking really.

  1. Aye Gino, some bonnie shots there, thank you for posting. Out over Glen Quaich today for a wee picnic run on 4 wheels :( Would have much preferred a run on Sally! However, grand scenery, some good ornithology spots and some good snow showers coming in on a stiff norwester, that all missed us, but plenty of sun. :) Good health and my regards, Bill

  3. Always enjoy your photos and commentary. Met you and Fiona on your way to Alaska a few years ago, in Prince Rupert, at the pub of all places! All the best to you two.
