Well, what a weekend. The absolute best mini run we have ever been on - bar none!

We've never been further north than Cromarty before so we were looking forward to the highland scenery and twisty roads. It delivered in
spades!

Many thanks to everyone for allowing a non-mini to join the ranks. I hope our Beemer isn't a blight on anyones pics.

Managed to keep the lid open all day sat and sun, and even have a strip of good old Scottish sun prickly heat rash to prove it.

But the biggest thanks have to go to Paul (Dogfather) for a stunning route, with stunning roads, all driven at a sensible pace with plenty regroups at junctions to make sure no one got lost.

Brekkie in The Royal in Ullapool was probably the best hotel breakfast I've ever had. Brekkie in Inverness however.....

Banter between us all, first class as ever... Highlight being:

Our Beemer and the fossies car parked next to each other. Mum and I rumaging about in our boots...
Mum: "I'm just looking for some"
Me (interrupting): "Condoms?"
Mum: "Ha ha no. Got plenty of them. in fact we use a reuseable one now"
Me: "Ewww. Washed out with plenty detol I hope"
Mum: "Na, bleach"

You had to be there really.

Highlands & Islands May 2011. Sign us up now please. Should have our mini back by then, just called Vardy's and they are still working on it, should be ready tomorrow morning (better late than never).
