I have just returned from a wonderful week touring
scotland .... touring as in uprooting the 8 berth tent every morning and moving on. Saturday 23rd saw us drive from flat fenland to a site near shap (on the m6) ... this location provided a damp cloudy sunday morning. Sunday 24th had us re-camping on the moors east of skelmorlie ... my barometer watch indicated 600 feet above sea level (with a nice view of bute). No wind on the moors, lovely warm sunset followed by the clearest skies i have ever seen (we observed several bits of space junk moving north/south at 11.00pm and various other bits in other orbits at other times, plus a few metorites). The rest of the week provided boring, fairly dry weather, (mallaig, john o groats,aviemore) until saturday 30th, when dawn a few miles away from ben nevis had my watch showing 2.5 centigrade (a few feet away from our electrically heated tent). Sunday 31st was the coldest ... tebay services on the m6, 1.2 centigrade and a fine white frost on the tent (yep ... my partner got hot in the night and turned the 2 kw fan heater off, leading to a cold nose dawn). The last time the tent was frosted i camped near pen y fan and had a white tent at 9pm in september (last year). Then i drove my 18 year old bmw back to the fens, to find my 15 year old bmw looking as though IT had done 2235 miles. Damn that fen dust!!! So how often do scottish people have to wash their cars due to airbourne dust???????? -- Regards SDD Warning: Email reply address is a spamtrap, remove teeth to reply directly !!!! --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
