Heres a few of mine from the weekend - just annoyed that we can't go put to the Isles 'cos of work :-(
...and the sight of the reprobates leaving the pub tonight, multiple bodies hanging off the roof-rack, is one that I will remember - shame there was no camera on hand !

( Up a private track before anyone gets tooo worried.)

I love Islay, the wife would happily move there but the midges see me as one of those 10 course Michelin taster menus.....assume you have sampled the delights of Laphroiag,Bunnhahaiban, Caol Ila etc?? Ardbeg is my personal fave whoo

Think we got really lucky on the weather front, felt more like the Channel Islands.

No problems part from a puncture on islay in bowmore.

Nearly a 1000 miles covered in 8 days.

Friendly lot of people on islay as we'll.

Big thanks to. Gene for the camping and local trip around  lkebtn

Well 260 miles later sees us land at Alnmouth south of Berwick and on the home leg.... Found loverly campsite by a river... Nice quiet pitch (wild camping in Scotland spoils you FACT!.

it's really been a week of stunning views and great company with some new experiences for me personally... Wild camping really is something else.
Big BIG  thanks to all that turned up... And especially Gene for his hospitality AND generosity in organising both laning/facilities/fire etc.

Spent a wonderful week on Mull staying at Craignure in the pub. The landlord was a sparky from Glasgow and had come over to the island 20 yrs previously and never went back......says all you need to know really, I do seem to remember him telling me that they have to put up temporary  traffic lights if anyone wants to sit their driving test on the island.........might have been pulling my leg but I was very, very drunk wdesmle

I'd forgot about that, I think they put it on the T junction just outside Tobermory, and the airport runway is on the golf cours so the golfists have to wait on the tee until the plane has landed/took off
What a brilliant place!!!

First day on Islay lead to a distillery tour of Lagavulin, and I was tempted by 5 of the 6 malts offered in the tasting,  so much so I decided that the Minerva was safest left in the car park, whilst my Jerry can and I cadged a lift in the 59'er to go and hunt shipwrecks and fuel.

Can I just say a huge thanks to everyone I travelled with
What a cracking bunch of folk
Best holiday I've had in years
See you in Wales...

Speaking of next year......

Who's up for Leafers in'T Lochs 2015?

Dates are open at the moment.... Possibly AFTER LATP??  rather than before?

Similar idea to this year Highlands 'n' Islands.... But different ones?
