Didn't you just get back from Wales? You don't let the cobwebs settle!

Is the Glenmorangie Distillery near Tain on the agenda? I have always loved that drive through Lairg - so remote and unspoiled, although the memory of the "clearances" does seem to hang over the area like a cloak of sorrow (on a grey day).

No distilleries visits on this trip. Yes, I agree the run down the A836, locally known as the Cas O’Mire, is a great joy. The road although still narrow has been much improved with the inclusion of many more passing points and has considerably reduced the stress.

A bit nicer weather for its arrival in MEL.

View from our hotel in Queenstown - beautiful late spring weather.

First drove it in 1987, with a tick fog descending. Now that was exacting! I had always wanted to go to Lairg since it appeared in a Hammond Innes novel (hands up all those ancient enough to have read his works of fiction).

Hammond Innes is a bit modern for my liking. I wonder if Capt. W. E. Johns or Compton MacKenzie mentioned it. Edit: Though I have certainly read "The Wreck Of The Mary Deare" and a few others.

We drove parts of that road in the 1970's but luckily had beautiful weather - and fortunately only encountered midges with no ticks (Next time I make a spelling error, and there will be a next time, you can make jokes at my expense)

That second photo - looks as though there's legs sticking out from under the door!

Beautiful scenery and bringing back wonderful memories of my trip in September and the reminder I need to finish my TR - how's the weather up there and how are you coping with the short days?

I used to love Hammond Innes and think I still have a few on my bookshelf. It's funny how reading a fiction book makes you want to go somewhere. I really only went to Savannah because of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil

Really!! I've already spoken to them several times as I'm an M-Sport/RT tragic!

Of course I picked up a few brochures as well.

Small world! If I see see them tomorrow I'll let them know of the connection.

Great products by the way......
