Hi guys,

Just a quick message to let you know that I'm safe and well. Staying at a caravan park today! Past few days we've just been finding nice spots to stay overnight in. We hired a caravanette for the trip, going well so far!

At the moment, I'm in Applecross, take a look on the map Hehe. Yesterday I was in the Isle Of Skye, was great fun.

Anyway, people are wanting to use the computer, so I better head off now. Looking forward to seeing you all soon!

Jack.

Hi guys!

I'm back! ;D

Had a brilliant time. Except, (as above) it was raining quite heavily for the last few days. But we did have some bright days Hehe. It was brilliant, we went all round the Isle Of Skye, Applecross, all those areas. It was brilliant. Got some good photo's too! - Will post them when I get them onto the comp! ;D

Great to be back again!!....Now, where's my arm chair gone....

Hi guys!

I decided to stop being lazy and post some pictures ;D *Cough cough* Ferryman

There will be 5 per post :)

Isle Of Skye, Our Spot for the night. Skye is particually well "kitted out" For tourists, passing points in the roads, specific stopping points for caravans and such. lovely place, Reminded me of Ireland :)

In and around Skye. Standing by the side of the road, looking down:

Out of Skye, on the mainland again. This time, in a little place called Plockton. Lovely place, I'd go again!

(http://i29.tinypic.com/2j193y9.jpg)

While we were parked there, We came accross a somewhat unusual visitor:

MOOOO!!! Aberdeen Angus! :lol:

Now, this is an interesting one. Some of you may recognise it (Still in Applecross) :

(http://i31.tinypic.com/2gxh7q9.jpg)

This was the place (Applecross) where a programme was broadcasted early this year, I watched it. So it was rather interesting to see it for real!!! (See this link) http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00j4hwp It's called, Monty Hall's Great Escape.

We also saw something rather special, some deere Which ran accross the road, then headed down onto the beach!

(http://i32.tinypic.com/mhzonm.jpg)

Heading back up into the mountains...Weather got extremely bad, Heavy winds, thick fog, rain. Couldn't of gotten any worse! Being in a caravan we were messing our pants! To be quite Frank! :lol: :D

(http://i31.tinypic.com/kdr3ih.jpg)
