Well guys I missed out on the Rondy this summer but a great vacation in Scotland, England and France. I hope no one minds me putting up a pic or seven... This pic was just before the Scottish border. The campsite in Glen Nevis Some snow still on the mountains looking back toward Ben Nevis The Highland memorial, dedicated to the fallen. Isn't the view amazing? Glan Garry castle Looking toward the Isle of Skye A closer view The Isle of Skye from the mainland One of the ruins on Skye A Raven Just to prove I was there...

Wonderful pics Dave ! and folks won't believe you if you tell them how old those buildings are ! Making me want another trip to the old country again , if they'd only let me bring and use my fox traps! ;D while I was over Brian Nuttal took me to Orton where some of my ancestors came from .

Yeah, it is pretty countryside up there. Not too bad down here either of course but not as wild and interesting. I know what you mean about the buildings Von, when my wife was over in the USA she overheard some people taking about one of the buildings there. 'It's so old! my God a hundred and fifty years! We have post boxes older than that here! My wifes apartment at the time was at least 75 years older! You are still a young country in many ways. Even I have difficulty getting my head around the age of some of the churches here 11th century... Now that's old! Next time you are over Von you won't need the traps, I will take you out snaring, I bet I can get you hooked D
