Go on, you know you want to!

Crikey the pressure would really be on you to do it!!! Driving all that way from Bristol, spending a squillion pounds on petrol and then having a look and saying 'Don't think I'll bother!!!' :lol:

Some nice pics in there and the weather held up well too.
Hope you managed to avoid the usual bank holiday traffic jam on the A82 on the way back.

Regards
Hillwalker02..


Thanks Graeme,

Your PM helped too! Yes we did get caught up in an hour-long tailback along Loch Lomond. Luckily we had been well fed and watered at the Inverbeg Inn and even better Garry had brought a monster size macaroon bar along!!!Yummy :D
