I do enjoy a nice weekend away in my caravan though and the fact I am wearing beige trousers has no bearing on the discussion.:embarrest:

Believe it or not, it was while I was working up that way about three years ago, we'd stopped at Lochgilphead for a cup of tea on a beautiful day and I saw Arran from the north with Goatfell basking in the summer sun. My wee boy will be three in April, his name is Arran. :D
 
Magic, you couldn't have named him better. What amazes me is, we had a boy from Ayrshire working with us for a while, even when I took him to Carradale down the back road and showed him where we would get the ferry to Arran and pointed out the whole Ayrshire coast he thought I was full of it, he thought Arran was 2D and you could only see it from his side.:rolleyes:

What you saw Stonedrose is where I batter about on my jet ski, popping in to places like Otterferry, Portavadie, Arran and Sanda for a quick beer before heading home, you honestly can't beat it.
 
Living the dream aom. I'm a bit of an outdoorsman myself though it's hard to find the time these days. I do a lot of hill walking, stayed in a nice bothy called Camasunrie at the foot of the Cuillins on Skye. Did the West Highland Way last year. It's all good. If I could I'd like to stay up your neck of the woods at some stage. I'd do it in a minute, don't think the Missus could be convinced to live more than 10 miles away from her mother though.:mad:
 
Are they not all the same?

Don't get me wrong, not for everyone and it's a long winter but if you have an interest like you have well where better? Work is as scarce as hens teeth though.

haha, the midge is a total nightmare, it's restricted to the west coast right enough which doesn't help me. There are loads of lotions and potions to deter them but believe it or not, I supply the boys with Avon's "Skin so Soft", makes them smell better that's for sure but it also stops the midges. Next time you are planning a camping trip, check for sites that use the midge catcher. As usual, can't remember what the right name is but it produces carbon monoxide like a car exhaust or even your breath and traps millions which breaks the breeding cycle, it does help.

And by the way, if you were on Mull you made it to Argyll, it stretches from Campbeltown in the South to nearly Fort William in the North and Helensburgh in the west.

Me n the mate were never without a bottle of skin so soft when we're workin in the sticks in the summer. Works a treat.
 
I think they just stick to you rather than anything else but it's better than the forestry boy's who still go to work with the wife's tights on their head.:eek:
