A jont up the coast road to Ullapool.

 

Camp overnight, a good selection of pubs and eating places so we can decide when we get there!

There is also a chip shop, chinees takeaway and an Indian restaurant

 

 

Sunday

 

To be confirmed, but likely to be the Aviemore area.

 

As long as theres grub and a pub.

 

 

Monday

 

Homeward bound.

 

 

 

There isnt a great deal of travelling on the Saturday and Sunday planned, if you want I can change things around a bit probably easier if we discuss it at the next meeting

 

And of course, rather than eating out all the time we could opt to cook at the campsite "beans anyone"

Dude.......you cannae sell up!

 

Come on now, remember our agreement. Both zeds on the inside stand for Scottish Modified this year! I've secured it at my end so get your finger oot! ;)

Dont sell up:( Ive not seen it yet.lol.

Maybe worth cancelling the insurance just now, get some wonga back to ease things.......then can insure it when possible.

 

As for the road trip im out:(

Got the grans b-day party on the friday and now im ringside for my pal at the MMA fighting.

think the road trip is bad timming for the lot of us, shame

Hopefully we will get the weather to match the stunning roads and scenery, I can just taste the beer and fresh seafood........

 

Ohhhhh and the rest of you are gonna miss all the foreign chicks hitch hiking there way up to their summer jobs in hotels.......all the more for me and Andy

Hope the weather warms up a bit, it's gonna be cold in a tent in the snow :santa:

Suppose I better start packing my gear then:yes:

Nearly all packed!!:yawn:

 

Suppose I better start packing my gear then:yes:

Might be a little late as the wife wants the grass cut before I leave.

No probs, I'll still be running about trying to get ready :)

 

 

Also out of gas for the double burner, but have a small stove that should be ok.....unless you wanna do a lot of cooking I'll not bother trying to get a replacement bottle tomorrow

Bringing a small petrol stove.

got one of those in the hut as well, but will stick with the wee gas one......more likely to keep my eyebrows with that

Robert and I had a great weekend here are some pic's I grabbed while driving, sorry they are not the best but I found out I can't multi-task!

 

First Day!

Second Day!

 

And yes I know my temp gauge is not working.

Third Day!

 

Hope you got home ok Robert.

Yep got home no probs. I got stopped at the lights at Perth.

 

Take it you went down the M90, I went the A9.

 

It was a great weekend, thanks for coming along :).

 

I will post up my picks once I get them sorted, the vids didnt work though!

 

I have picks of the mini meet at Inverness.

Lucky :censored:

 

I spent the weekend and today.............

 

Removing the petrol tank and a very rusty filler neck only to find more holes in my rustbucket.

 

Cutting out the LH rear wheelarch.

 

Cutting open the LH sill to half way along the door and then cutting back the rusty inner sills.

 

The joys........

 

Hope you both enjoyed yourselves - maybe next year?
