Camped under an oak tree last night to escape gale force winds and ultimate rain. Should be there in 2 hours now.
Youll need to use your imagination a bit but in the distance is inverness and the north sea
Camped up for the night at an old fort. Another 12 miles today but mostly up and down hill-climbed 150 feet, back down to water level and now up at 350 feet again.
Weve all got blisters now and face being eaten by highland cows tonight but really enjoying it. Drumnadrochit for breakfast tomorrow.

Leaving fort augustus this morning. Feet covered in blisters but the sun is out so its all good.
After walking 15 miles today in "sunny intervals" my arse! Decided to get a canadian canoe from Loch oich. Another 7 miles down river and now in fort augustus.
Stopped for the night on the banks of Loch Lochy. Managed to get in about 11 miles this afternoon. Got mac cheese from a can tonight-mmm
Just left the old fort ruins at Fort William 5 minutes ago. Wished well on our way by a woman from tasmania no less.
Wohoo! Have just moved flat today. Totally nackered now but well worth it. Up Morningside. Off to check out our locals now.
Having lunch on Inchlonaig, Loch Lomond. Absolutly roasting. Last day of holiday today but got the prodigy tonight. Cant wait.
"Inche-Lonaig a myl and a half long, and half as broad, adorned with abowndance of ew tree, which it alone hath among al the rest."

Another cracking day at LL. Been getting plenty wakeboarding in. Even managed to get air - which is good for me! Photos of "super mable" to come ;-)
Bretts leaving do last night. Kinnel - my head! X-(
Off to Loch Lomond in a bit - after I've dragged my sorry arse to Subway that is...

gone all evil this week with my facial hair. been told I look like george michael - and a bit of a paedo - I prefer to be known as a pogonotrophist however.
Took this the other night. Got a new flat so am going to miss the view. Will be next to bruntsfield tho so it'll be just as good.
After an amazing weekend at T in the Park, went gliding with my dad in Kinross. Photos dont do it justice (click for set) but it was a superb experience - I dont know how next weekend is going to live up to this one ;)
Got pretty used to seeing this kind of thing now. This was taken at the bottom of my street.
In a slightly hungover state and with nothing better to do on a Saturday morning we decided to do the Bargain Hunt Chartiy Challenge. Stockbridge is full of charity shops so the idea was to pick up summint really cheap, stick it on eBay and watch the bids roll in. Problem being that I am hardly Hugh Scully and ended up buying some old tat that nobody (including ourselves) actually wants. Read the well dodgy descriptions Here, Here and Here. I wont tell you who bought what (out of me, Ewan and Elviz). Take a swatch and feel free to bid - 4 days and counting!
After a very productive day charity shopping for an upcoming Bargain Hunt eBay type project (more later), spent the afternoon in the park.
Am now lying in my flat watching Glastombusy live (cant wait for TiTP now by the way) nursing a rather pink belly with a cold Cobra - the beer not the snake.

Ian D from my work took me up for a spin around Fife this morning. Not great visability but superb fun. Click for the full set.
At treefest today. Wood whittling, axe thrownig, wicker basket making and teepee constructing. We decided to save the world by drinking beer...
Millie fox dresses down the apple sourz "busters".
Shocking!
Please excuse the language in my last post. I was frickin' "banjaxed" at the time tho ;)

Take one laser pen, a disco ball and a 10 second exposure and you end up with something not unsimilar to this. Click for the set.
Went to see the wee baldie man in concert tonight in Glasgow (the short guy with the guitar in this shot).
Blast from the past hearing "So Real" again but a bit self indulgent towards the end. Really good night tho.
