absolutely hissing down now , even the dog ain't going out. I am due a cigar but I am still in the planning stage of my strategic dash to back of car which has been cunningly parked into the wind so I can shelter under the tailgate. None smokers have it easy..

Just wait until it stops and the midges appear.. You'll be doing a rain dance.
Is that Loch freshwater or salt ? Looks a great place ! If you are that put off by the weather, get the bloody dog a passport and take it to France with you.

salt water just up from Oban. I now consider Oban to be the wettest, windiest, bleakyist (yes that is a real word) place in the world.
I would take her to SofF but she does not speak French and is totally against the idea of brandy rather than scotch, it just isn't right.

Just seen the weather for Scotland tonight. I do not have the heart to tell you, BUT do NOT have any plans to move that caravan before the weekend ! :brr:
Reminds me of a trip we had some years back.
We stayed in a bothy on an estate (name escapes at the mo) further up from Fort William on the road to Mallaig,we were staying self catering for 4 days and 3 nights.The last night we were booked in At the Arisaig hotel for a lovely steak diner and home to bed.However come the morning we were snowed in ,ended up staying 3 more nights and ate a mix of duck and goose with no veg or spuds let alone gravy.
happy days
Enjoy your hols

You will have to get a jacket, like the ones that the locals wear, with a helipad marked out on the back !

Years ago two friends and myself went up to Lochgoilhead in a camper towing a boat all ghe way to fish on the loch. When we got there in yhe the weather was glorious and we had a drink sat outside the pub. The next 3 days were spent confined to the camper van playing cards while a monsoon raged on until we went home.. Never even put the boat in the water. So I fully sympathise.
