March 29, 200620 yr For those that are interested Keep an eye on the weather in Fort Bill <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Why bother? If it's not raining, it's snowing
March 29, 200620 yr Author Why bother? If it's not raining, it's snowing You would know Andy, you were like a drowned Rat at 'Ba House' last year ....but good to see you there
March 29, 200620 yr You would know Andy, you were like a drowned Rat at 'Ba House' last year ....but good to see you there <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Despite the hellish walk across the moor in the driving rain and knee-deep mud, I'm glad I did it. I was really pleased with the photos. With the white water and barren backdrop they looked great and, in my opinion, showed the Scottish as it should be shown. I'd do the walk again, no question. PS. I'm even more glad that I stopped at an outdoor shop in Glencoe en route and got myself some heavier waterproofs!
March 29, 200620 yr good photos Andy - they all look as they are enjoying themselves Remind me why you guys subject yourselves to this again? when you could have a week in Spain lying on a beach sipping chilled lager?
March 29, 200620 yr The previous ben nevis picture, the one where you can actualy see the hill, was taken during the 02 trial week. Nevis hasn't been seen by the web cam since
March 30, 200620 yr The 'BEN' keeping an eye on the Fort! It puts everything into perspective dont you think? Edited March 30, 200620 yr by 2fargone
March 30, 200620 yr Nice picture, 2fargone, was this taken from the top? Since i live in this undersealevel country, makes me feel i was born in the wrong country
March 30, 200620 yr Nice picture, 2fargone, was this taken from the top?Since i live in this undersealevel country, makes me feel i was born in the wrong country <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hi GG, I would say its probably about 2/3 of the way up maybe a bit more,I cant comment on the Netherlands but in my opinion Scotland takes some beating, even with the rain. Anybody who rides in the SSDT is very privileged, its just a shame you don't really have time to take in the amazing scenery during the trial,I think its only when you no longer ride that you realize how fortunate you really were.

March 31, 200620 yr Nice picture, but it still looks bloody cold <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It was, and just look at the bloody size of the midges up there
March 31, 200620 yr Is that area free to ride in? It is not a reserve or somekind? Or were you by foot? Nice moskito though
March 31, 200620 yr jeees they are big is that the fort in the distance the white area ? Over the river?

Over the river? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hi GG, I think it is a 'National Park' so NO Motorcycles at all as it would jeopardize the future of the SSDT! We were on mountain bikes.(Hard work going up,brilliant coming down, a 4404ft long section ) Lewis,I need some help here ) over to you HIGHLAND LASSIE Edited April 2, 200620 yr by 2fargone
April 1, 200620 yr Hmmmm....nothing like passing the buck!! Only ever being in the Fort for one week a year, I'm no expert but that to me looks like Loch Eil coming down into Loch Linnhe, in which case the 'white area' is out by Corpach, and the rest of the Fort is hidden by that little hill in front. I'll leave it to the locals to put you right if I'm talking nonsense!
