Title: Scotland visit...
Post by: andyoxon on 20 April, 2008, 12:48:37 pm
Just got back from north of the border.  We were told that the west coast can be good weather wise at April time - it was great.

Just a few pics. 

We drove up from Oxon, via Harrogate on the way up, and the Lakes on the way down.  The elastic 'pressure' bands worked a treat on the children from a travel sickness POV...  Stayed in SYHA courtesy of Mr Tesco tokens... :)

1. From Oban SYHA bedroom window! Towards Kerrera Island

<smug>Somehow I don't feel so bad about moving to Scotland instead of London</smug>

I don't know why it's taken us over 10 years to get back up to Scotland...   :) Tell you what though, in exposed areas...with wind chill - it was cold.
