I just thought i'd share these two pictures I took on my journey from Inverness whilst on the way to my friends house at Ballachulish, near Fort William, in the Scottish Highlands.
Both taken from the shore of Loch Ness. I didn't see any monsters though sadly and couldn't stay long as the rain came and the light went.
There weather has been far to awful today to go anywhere with a camera but tomorrow promises lots of snow so we're doing the sensible thing and climbing a mountain!!!
I'll post some more later in the week if people are intrested.
Rob.

It's freezing Garry, it doesn't show it on the mercury, that says around 2 degrees but with the wind and rain added it's not at all warm!
I'd love to have brought my bike up Eddie, i'm staying with my old riding partner, a cop who transfered up to the Northern Constabulary six months ago but I don't have a decent bike carrier and flew up with Ryanair... I don't trust other people with my bike, it's never been out of my sight other than when locked in the garage!
Maybe next time i'll drive up.

Funny that Rob. I'm the same with my bike. I would'nt leave my pride & joy in the hands of an airline baggage handler. I've seen how they work. If you ever do drive up then use Manchester as a stop off for a night. I will show you the local trails and more importantly, the pubs. :drinkers:

Here's a couple from today. We climbed the Pap of Glencoe, it was mostly cloud covered and snowing sideways but I got a few shots when the clouds lifted.
I was amazed how quickly the weather can change!
