Hello everyone,

Have only just got back today, after just under a 2000 mile round trip to 3, yes 3 countries in 13 days (well England, Scotland and even a train trip to Wales :lol: )

Mega thanks to Shane and Susan for another stupendous trip, only 50 weeks to go :whistle:

And a big thankyou to my driver :thumleft: , for driving all though miles :clap: , where would I be without you O:)

hey everyone, very delayed response sorry!

This was another brilliant weekend - although the weather was completely rank, as others have said the spirits were still high :)

I had a great time once again. even if I spent the entire trip worried about if I'd stay on the road with my "Extreme Summer Tyres".

And that Seafood Selection was the single best seafood meal I've ever had - BRILLIANT!!

Here's some pics:

An inflatable tent? Really didn't expect it to be there at the end of the night!

As the tradition goes - post tent beers! (and so the night begins!)

The menu item in question:

Mussel shots for starter:

And the feast!

Nom Nom Nom Nom:

Ordering this was fun in the Applecross Inn:

Here's a few videos of Applecross:

haha, now we all know why you and Gary couldn't make the Saturday kick off (and why I should never talk on camera while pished :oops: ) Applecross seemed worse at the time, guess being lead car doesn't help lol.

Inflatable tent, inflatable bed and that's all ya cheeky beggars - no sniggering at the back there! :mrgreen:
