Romping reporter here!

Heres the link to some of my pics from the weekend - including additional pics of St Conan's Kirk (CtL has adopted it as his scottish base!), The Castle and the Bridge or Orchy B Road all in better weather conditions!

https://flic.kr/s/aHsjYgkw9P

Thanks again to Jim, David, Brian and their better halves for additionally putting up myself, Dezzy and Sergey on the way up for a night, and also to Connor for his tireless photography. Thanks also to TinTin for his great idea of holding a Whisky tasting and to Gregor for the Beer tasting!

I think we should also thank the Guys running the Tyndrum Inn for doing everything we asked and going a fair bit further as well. They've had some bad reviews in the past on trip advisor so if your visit was all you hoped or more then please take the time to leave them a good review

Lastly thank you to one and all of you all for coming - it was a long way to travel for many, and yet we still had one of our best attendances which says a lot - and it was also great to meet so many new faces from the forum.

Please make sure that you vote in the current poll for next year's annual meet location if you intend to come - and also please consider getting to one or more of our other meet dates around the country, it would be great if we could meet up at Christmas time if weather and schedules allow too like we have a couple of times in the past!
