Hi guys Just thought I'd share some of the pics that I took on the trip up to Skye. I wish I had taken some more but the place is just full of fantastic scenery and I would have been stopping every 300 yards.
Very nice mate. I expect there are some cracking roads up there, ya could just do with a bit more sunshine.(like the rest of us)
Honest mate the roads all the way up the West Coast are amazing. Great condition and fantastic twisties. Get yourself up there at some point, you won't be disapointed.
Awesome pics dude - and especially the last. Wouldn't mind a copy of that mate... Blaggs they are that good you wouldn't even care if it's raining! Get up there it's mega.
Outstanding Colin! I know exactly what you mean about what to shoot. I spent 35 years watching the major events in my life through a viewfinder and only enjoying them in hindsight. All the periphery and the atmosphere lost in the struggle to get 'that' shot. I took the conscious decision to not take a camera with me anymore and shit! It was like going cold turkey from drugs. For ages I'd be bobbing around trying to 'see' the shot without getting it and shaking my head watching others set up in the wrong place. I'm better now and feel I can slip a compact into my pocket without counselling but am about to but myself a bridge camera so will probably start the whole, sad process all over again. (sigh!) That route is so on my bucket list now, but it'll have to be the car. I'm too old and broken to do a 'Banzai Jimbo' mission.
PM me your email addy and I'll see if I can send it to you mate. No promises though as I'm siht with computers.
A couple of my mates go up scotland every year, and I miss it every time cos the bikes usually in bits, or I am. Hopefully I will make the next one, or, if we get some weather I might organise a weekend jaunt.
It's defo worth the weekend jaunt up there mate. We got a descent enough B&B for £30 per night, and thats just the norm. Normally between £28 and £35 a night, so its not even as though you are getting ripped off.
It's a great place to be. As said great scenery great roads and the your welcome is atleast warm from the locals, if not the weather. Thanks for the memories Colin. A nice collection.
Be careful blaggs - they get nervous of big groups of Englishman crossing the boarder together!! Wouldn't want Colin painting his face for nothing!!
Mind you, all those blue and ginger loonies screaming and demanding 'Freedom!' may be a brilliant way to get rid of him.
