Quick update and some flesh on the bare bones ....
The cunning plan so far is .....
Head out on the 11th of September (Eventually returning on the 26th ) and head North via the A1m North .....
Loose plans thus far ....AND still in a state of flux ....so please feel free to shout up ....
Travel north Via A1/A696/A68 and thence
Looking like first nights stop is going to be in Leithope forest ..just over the border near to Jedburgh ....
Then onwards to Brig 'O' Turk for some of Genes Very special hospitality ...including some rather interesting history and beautiful scenery (As I understand it thus far Gene will again be providing the very generous hospitality of the local village hall (A small Donation the same as last year will of course be in order for the use of very nice showers and ablutions)
Thence onwards to either Oban and across to Mull and Iona (Fantastic religious abbey remains etc ) (Ferry charges involved @£60 for 4x4 and two folks)
OR up to Skye
And then up to Loch Ewe ....WWII gun emplacement remains and stunning beaches
And thence onwards to Orkney via gills bay to st margarets hope Adults £15 each and car £35 ...so £130 for two adults in a vehicle BOTH ways .
Just a few bits for folks to Ghoogle ....just to whet the appetite
Skara Brae ....
Churchill barriers
Scapa flow museum
Ring of Brogda
Standing Stones at Stenness
Italian prisoners of war chapel
old man of hoy
Tomb of eagles
Highland park distillery
Ness battery ....
Still filling blanks in BUT you get the general idea
