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..

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.

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

I think the locals refer to to the conditions as "Dreek"

 

[westley]

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.
