Scotland Tour August 2015 : Day 4

blog Travel 2 Comments

Here are some photos from the fourth day of our Scotland Tour! Which took us a great walk around the town of Oban. Then a walk down Gallanach Road, then getting on a small ferry over to Kerrera. Then had a great walk, before ending up at the Waypoint Bar and Grill, over looking Oban! The food was great! Then we got another ferry back over to Oban!

The day could not have worked out better! None of it was planned at all!

If you’re ever up in the Oban area. I would recommend getting the ferry over to Kerrera!

Scotland Tour August 2015 : Day 3

blog Travel 2 Comments

During today’s tour of Scotland we left the “mainland” of Mull and got a ferry over to Iona, which is small island in the Inner Hebrides. It’s about 1 mile wide and 4 miles long.

It’s also got one of the best beaches, I’ve ever seen in the UK! Only downside, the water was very, very COLD!!! Would have needed a winter wetsuit to go swimming! Maybe I am looking for a reason to wear a wetsuit!! 😛

RIP East Coast Trains 2009 – 2015. You were the best railway franchise in the UK. It’s all down hill from now on. Since Virgin have taken over running of the ECML. It will be like National Express all over again!

So from today, the trains will start turning Virgin Red. We’re going to lose the great colour of East Coast Trains. See some photos below!

Scotland December Tour 2014 : Day 2

blog Travel 1 Comment

Here are the first lot of photos from my second day of my mini tour of Scotland. Sorry no photos, at all from the first day. Due to the weather.

I did not travel far at all today. Just went to the local distillery, which is called Glengoyne Distillery. Just down the road from Killearn. Then I went to Balfron to take some photos of the “new” high school. The one I went to, is long gone!

Driving from Glencoe to Green Welly Stop (Tyndrum)

Driving along the A82 from just outside Glencoe to Green Welly Stop (Tyndrum). This is one of my favourite roads in Scotland! It also brings back, great memories of doing the End to End cycle. Since I cycled, the whole of this road!

When you go to Loch Lomond in the evening, the last thing you think will happen is walking into Spider-Man. So no, it’s not me in this suit! Which id what happened today!

So wish, I owned a suit like that, would never want to take it off!
