Cheers Soapy, was a great few days. The wind had a fair bite to it on the Thursday, looks like we got lucky with our timing judging by what monarchming was greeted with on the Friday at Loch Quoich. :D

Thanks for these Morag...less than a mile from my front door.

Glad you like the photo Scotjamie, you're a lucky man if you live in NB, it was beautiful down there and I didnt want to leave.

Thanks for the info re Uri Geller / Lamb / the constellations - I didnt know any of that and I must say I find it fascinating.

Strangely enough I've been reading an article about the secret geometry that exists between NB Law, Arthurs Seat and Cairnpapple Hill. The ancients knew about this which is why stone circles were found on these sites. I've been walking these hills recently and I was going to do a TR with my photos and details about the secret geometry but I'm not sure if anyone would be interested. Might get round to it one day. Still got the John Muir Way to finish off, it's taking ages!!!

Cheers Morag
It is a great wee place and I remember you posting in Patrick's TR (Morecambe Monkey)

PM if planning any JMH or NB Law down this way - happy to walk a wee bit with company

Is this true Alan, or have you been at the cooking sherry again? :wink:

Peel on the IOM, I see it made the news with a farmer digging out sheep near Kirk Michael today. Some folk said they had never seen snow like that in their life-times......but we have a talent for importing snow into unusual locations e.g. Athens and Cyprus both in April.
