Beautiful photo's Excossack.

Firkin Point that brings back memories, haven't seen it in the daylight, got lost going to Fort Bill years ago, pre S.H.M.B.O. and sat nav with the then girlfriend, we were moved on by the local law enforcement, which is probably a good thing, we were only trying to keep warm honest officer.


Here is Firkin point last July

Back home after a 849 mile round trip or about 25mpg.
Only issues, wiper blades splitting and tablet not wanting to charge properly from numerous USB outlets and USB leads on the trip home.

For those interested this is the drilling rig used and I guess towed behind another 130 that also turned up on site at the hotel before we left.

Other than the ones shown here the working Land spot was quite good
At least 5 http://www.raeburndrilling.com/ 110s on the A9
A couple of other 'estate' type 110s CSW and DCPU
Oh and the 90 in the hotel car park owned by D2 member and a D3 from the disco3 forum at Fort William premier inn. Reg plate ended in UDO? 1999 Defender TD5 110

excossack, lovely pics of Scotland, we went there many years ago, and we saw the Commando Memorial,...we were told that "He" was looking in the direction of Europe, waiting for his mates to return. Very special.
Thanks, Pickles.
