OK so i may not have any Scottish blood in me that i know off but i was born there and that’s good enough for me.

Decided to use up what was left of my leave days by doing something interesting rather than just sitting around home like i usually do, so i booked a few days camping at a couple of different site in Scotland along the Great Glen at Fort Augustus and Fort William.

To make the most of my time off i opted for traveling up on the Caledonian Sleeper train rather than flying or driving, still think this was the best option even though i was wiped by the time the train got back to Crawley at 9am ready for me to start work that day :S.

Really glad i went and can’t believe i hadn’t done it earlier because its just such an incredible place to go and see, will certainly be going back again.

Weather was a bit hit and miss, which was the more noticeable because i was walking everywhere and staying in a 2 man tent , but to be honest even when it was raining it was beautiful and fun because it’s Scotland i expected rain and in the words of William Wallace in Braveheart “Oh, it’s good Scottish weather, madam. The rain is falling straight down. Well, slightly to the side like.”

And it’s true, when its coming straight down it’s fine, it’s when the wind gets up and it comes at you from the side that it starts to get nasty.

Well i took loads of photo’s as usual that can bee seen here, none of Nessie but Loch Ness was fantastic none the less.
