Re: Doh, busy weekend ahead

Re: Touring the Scottish Highlands?
It ain't fun coming over Applecross in the winter chum....
Toodled over it a few times at 10 - 15mph because you couldn't see your finger in front of you
with wind, rain & cloud cover!
Nout better than a beer at sunset in Ullapool watchin' the Stornaway ferry exiting the port.
