    I'm working all day that day, but should have time to pop the kettle on


    Feet were made to fit car pedals. If we were meant to walk, we'd have pogo sticks for legs

    Have a great trip Brian ... Hope the weather clears up though for you :)
    You only need two tools in life WD40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should use WD40 and if it moves and shouldn't use Duct Tape.

    A great drive today from Pitlochry to Culloden.

    Drove over the Cairngorms via The Lecht and Tomintoul.

    Odd shower kept popping up so road was damp but managed a bit of spirited stuff now and then :-)

    Off to Alford PO tomorrow as Gordon wants to see the car. To Gleneagles from there via Cairn O'Mount and Fettercairn.

    As you said Craig, could've been much worse

    To be honest, anyone coming up here expecting good weather this time of year needs their head looking at.........our aim was just to have a relaxing break with some good roads to drive on.....and it's being achieved!!

    Great drive today.....roads were mainly dry

    Culloden to Alford via Tomintoul to meet Gordon....good to meet you bud, your Ferrari is wonderful to put it mildly...then on to Gleneagles via Cairn O'Mount and Fettercairn......stunning roads and stunning views!!

    Quite funny when arriving at Gleneagles.....up the gravel drive to the portico outside the main entrance....in a MINI impersonating a tractor

    Suddenly surrounded by folk there to get your bags and park your car......would've loved a pic of a black 1511 under the portico but thought discretion would be best

    Anyhow, views from Cairn O'Mount...




    .....and, I remember when I used to have red wheels!
