    Something for the weekend ...?

    Mrs H.7 and I celebrate our Silver Wedding Anniversary today
    Went up the west coast of Scotland for the weekend and thought you'd appreciate some pics, especially Mrs H.7's noo transport ...

    The scenic pic was the view from the loo in our hotel room

    The bridge, believe it or not, spans the Atlantic Ocean

    And the rest speak for themselves ...

    congrat's,Mr & Mrs H7
    you picked a lovely area to visit,ive not been up that way in age's.
    we have freind's who stayed (at the end of the road!) looking straight on to "seal island"...god!!! i cant remember the name ..they now stay in Oban
    their is a nice feeling within that area,everyone has a freindly nature to them.

    did you drive to the end,where the start of the big pond is?....down that lovely (near) single track "zig zag" hill....the one with the "mind blowing veiw" of the local area,island's in the sea and miles upon miles of ocean....breath-takin

    The photo was taken from Creggans Inn overlooking Loch Fyne.

    No idea, there's not much room in there.

    Lost count of the number of other cars that were dispensed with Strangely, the most satisfying was an old git (look who's talking) in an SL350 who thought he'd try to keep up. Mwahahaha ...

    Yep, that's the one in the photo. Called "Atlantic Bridge" (how inventive ), it bridges from the mainland to Seil Island. Photo taken from the wee car park on the island side.

    Yeah, Easdale is where you can get a thrill ride out to the Corryvreckan whirlpool. Step into a head-to-toe waterproof suit, sit on the boat like you would on a chopper, and head off into the waves (not self-drive ) Not done it, but spoke to someone at the weekend who did and said it was awesome.
