Default Scotland mini meet report

Met on the bonny banks of Loch Lomond on Friday morning

Then on through Crianlarich and Tydrum to Kilchurn Castle on Loch Awe

Then on to Inveraray Castle and The George Hotel for a bite of lunch

And off to The Rest and be Thankful where we stopped to admire the view (well, all but Richard who just hoofed on by and then had to turn back to join us!)

Finally, through Arochar and Glen Fruin, back to Cameron House on Loch Lomond again

Had a really nice day too - just a shame that the iPhone makes such a bad camera!









































Enjoyed the company, guys - thanks a lot!

A great day, especially the A814 down the side of the Loch, not been down there in years, and not in a car that can really work down it And I just felt that the R&BT had to be driven down twice to really appreciate it *ahem*

Still need to work out what the hell is wrong with the car though Reckon it's a call to A4Audi on Tuesday.

Indeed a great day and the sun shone for most of it too, just a few of my pics too, huge thanks to Jim for organising no doubt he will also be able to tell from his spreadsheet how much fuel he used too

the last pic is us parked on the drive outside Jim's house

cheers
