Summer is, exploring.......


Then taking a wrong turn, getting completely lost and adding 27.6 miles onto an already long days riding

I could understand adding 2.76 miles to a long day but 26.7 miles. How long did it take you to work out you were lost? normally people work it out quite quickly even off road.... I'm just wondering how you managed to add that kind of mileage to your journey?

I think submitting actually good photo's is pretty poor form.

@SatNavSaysStraightOn These aren't normal tracks. They're very old and very new logging trails that aren't marked onto maps or garmins, ended up at Glengorm castle via numerous trails. The trails fork every mile which makes them a nightmare, especially when they keep doubling back.

Like I said, exploring. Life isn't a straight line

Yes but I turned it black to kill the summery feel

I'm not sure what the yellow plant is but I'm sure our resident horticulturalist, @potsy can identify it.

They look like very cute ducklings.

I realise you know your way around a camera and gear but you are not selling Scotland. Surely there must have been some sun.

Lots of sun behind the clouds

It's been patchy today but bloomin' hot

No photos as my phone melted on the way home. Cold cider with ice to recover. I don't really do cider with ice being a wurzell, but it's bloody lovely.

2 days left for you all to send in your last minute entries.

Typically the weather on Thursday, my day of deliberation, will be kack but warm and if the crossing is rough i will delegate the task to @hopless500 as i may be resting and unable to see straight.

Proof that Scotland does have a summer

Thought I'd better post a bit of blue sky and sea to shut @Hill Wimp up


Sound of Mull


Salen Pier
