It wasn't so bad to post it. The cut and paste worked.

See above regarding your oil.

I've just read it all through again and wish we were off again. Still next year in my IIa???

Cheers Chris.
I'm sure in your IIa, it may be classed more of an Expedition Thumbs Up

Island hopping in my IIa from Oban to Orkney or even Shetlands. Oo, I wanna get my maps out! Gonna cost though Shocked.

I think your oil has got to the parts that Land Rovers' oil couldn't reach Laughing.

To revive a thread.....
Our rough route and activities are now scribbled on paper, nothing booked, we are just going 'shoot from the hip' and will soon be heading North.
Kayaks, kites and bikes, will also be making the trip so I'll have stuff to play with, the frisbee is always in the 90 Thumbs Up
I purchased some Avon skin-so-soft, in bulk, in case the midges are out Laughing

Trip looks amazing. I've chucked the wife, kids and luggage in the Fl2 and driven up to Balloch in 5-hrs for a weeks holiday. Nothing as adventurous as you though as we have baby friendly restaurants/nappy breaks and 13-hrs sleep to factor in Wink
