West Coast of Scotland trip....

Broke journey south last night at Nenthead Mines carpark (nice bit of industrial archeology to explore... But hadn't brought underground gear with me as wasnt intending to go exploring)
Nice quiet park up with public toilets open 24hr and pub over the road and a community shop....
Not quite as scenic a stop as last two weeks but hey ho.... Lunch and last leg home now sadly....

Must get my main holidays booked soon ;-)

You like us hit the weather at it's best.. We were up there the same time as you for 2 weeks. Sadly we know just how you're feeling as you're leaving it all behind.. Really beautiful up there and when the weather is like it's been for us it makes it 10 times better....

Safe drive back...

Glad you enjoyed Ardnamurchan. Sitting in the sunshine at Bridge of Orchy and just going to light the barbie and open an Innes and Gunn. Get yourself out to the Uists for summer hols if Ardnamurchan floats your boat the Uists are a must.
 
Yayyy back to work at 5.30 am this morning followed by usual m6 commute to the Midlands to return at 18.00 tonight has been a shock....

Deff intend to head to the hebrides at some point.... I suspect main 2 weeks holiday this year (trip to Ardnamurchan was due to not managing to take 2 weeks last year due to work pressure)
Will be a nostalgic trip back to Herriot Country (we've visited a few times briefly BUT not for a prolonged visit) and then possibly up into Cumbria....
Time for some underground exploring in the old lead mines around and about too hopefully.
