First Scottish hill walk this millennium

Sunday the 15th of April saw us both in the highlands of Scotland. We walked a small section of the west highland way from the Bridge of Orchy to Tyndrum. A light snow shower and lots of sun greeted our hike. We were lucky enough to be given a lift there by our chum David Main in his go faster car!! After a few pints of Guinness the journey home was eye lids at half mast!! So a big thank you goes out to Davy ( watch out for the pot holes!!)If you would like to see some of the following pictures click on them for higher resolution.

 

These four snap shots are from left to right, Lisa having a drink from a burn, some highland coo's, me in hill walking mode, and the infamous Davy Main and friends.

Orkney Magic!!!

The old VW Polo headed North on Monday the 29th of May. We did over 855 miles with out a hiccup , not bad for a £45 car!!. After doing Scotlands most Northerly munro ( over 3000ft ) we caught the ferry over to Orkney where we toured around for a few days , see the Scottish page for the full monty.

Eviction

The Sherifs Officers payed us a call at 1.30am and he wasn't looking for a party!!! Well the time had come to leave our shared flat with fellow Australian , Callum. Our landlord had not been paying his way with his council rent or poll tax and we were not going to hang around and suffer the outcome. So here we are , back baby sitting houses again till we sort ourselves out. Billy & Mags and kids are in the United States for a 6-week holiday. Bounty and Fiona are also over there and they plan to meet up in California. Billy has a 20 year reunion with the climber who rescued him off the famous cliff "El Capitan" in the Yosemite National Park..

Back from the Artic!!

Twenty four hour sunshine made working nightshift more like dayshift. I'm just back from another trip to Norway but this time further North in Norway. Yet agian on board another fantastic ship , made working almost enjoyable!.

So much for time off

Its up to the Shetland Isles for more work , this time 4 weeks. When i get back its the Edinburgh Festival so watch the Scottish page for hot photos around town!

Rats its renting time again

Well we 've moved into a flat and Lisa's mother Norma has just arrived for two weeks. She had been in Aruba for 6 months staying with Michelle & Eduardo and the kids and is now on her way back to Australia. Check out the Scottish page for the blurb on the flat. Unfortunately i wiped out our piccys of the festival which was fantastic. We all went to the Military Tattoo on a glorious moonlit night with the castle as a back drop its one of the most hair raising , emotional spectacles on the planet you could ever see ( No i don't work for the Scottish Tourist board! )
