Andy Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overthehill Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 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?

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.

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, 2006 by 2fargone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highland lassie Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
