Shouldn't that be mackerel ...

Oh ... and Beardie's acting in that last shot is almost enough to get him a walk on in 'River City' ...

Tremendous weekend... one of the BEST I have had in a long long time!

Highpoint for me (apart from Beardie's music collection) would have to be the 50 or so Porpoises we saw in the Inner Sound... that was almost biblical. Cool stuff - something not everybody gets to see and no doubt something I'll remember for a long time.

Euan... the sailing was top notch... as was the hooning this afternoon. Cheers Beardie for letting me tag along.

Andy cheers for the scran and the brown scants on the way up

Dave and Kath...

Yeah good to be back! Actually Beardie and I were talking about you in the car... there was a mountain biking championship on in Fort William... thought maybe you were up at it.

But then again, it was Megameet this weekend wasn't it??

A seriously fun weekend.
Big thankyou to Euan for putting up with 3 landlubbers.

After picking Jimbo up we headed up past Loch Lomond.
There's still some dodgy stretches of road up there.
