Default John O'Groats with two dodgy Daves and P & L.

After the GM, we planned a trip around the coast of northern Scotland. Raving Davis and Dave 20046 joined us.

We should have taken the Corran Ferry, but due to the captain taken exception to where we joined the queue, we went to Mallaig via Fort William. Stopped at the Glenfinnan monument, where the two Daves ventured up top.



Lucky that numbers had his dayglo suit on



Stopped enroute to get a pic



Made the Skye ferry alright



Stopped on the way to Uig to get another pic



View from the Hostel car park

Refused entry to Ferry? - ya didnt queue jump or stop all the traffic did you pete? Mallaig road is ace though so you gained IMO

What the heck is goin on with numbers' tail pack.. ? man that is high


I reckon your bikes are exactly where ours were on the Mallaig Ferry

Why has Dave made a lifesize model of Lissa out of his gear on the back of his bike?
IF he wanted her on the back all he needed to do was ask her to sit there!!

where did you get that dayglo rain suit numbers??

I still want to know why the captain got in a mood.. if you rode down the car queue and got to front its not a prob is it as bikes go in seperate area.. or was it just a roll on and stay with your vehicle 10 vehicle ferry??

NO idea what the Captains problem was, he just has a little bit of power to is going to fully extend it. I'm not sure it helped that Pete gave him the special cupped hand wave

Thats just how Pete has learned to greet people as so many people greet him that way over the years.

I need to get me to GM sometime. But never seem to have the fundage at the right time.

Looks like you had a corker again. Nice pictures.
