After seeing Grand Designs I want to see more of the scenery.
Never been that far, must go.

There’s quite a few in my blog, link in my profile.

🙂

my trip to the ‘islands’ was so dominated by wind and rain that in two weeks we barely got the camera out…….

Seriously good riding….

Beautiful. Normally biking is all about the track.
Up there it looks like a bike is more of a way to get to the scenery.
Would love to spend a year up there to guarantee just one of those blue sky days.

It’s not just about the biking…

Lovely as ever Grum. But there’s no H in Rum…… 🙂

Bloody hell I thought I’d posted a lot of pics!

Cheers druidh, never knew this:

For much of the 20th century the name became Rhum, a spelling invented by the former owner, Sir George Bullough, because he did not relish the idea of having the title “Laird of Rum”.

Couple more:

My Specialized Pitch – Ben Lomond by Grum Wynne, on Flickr

Bloody incomers eh?

Aye, bloody southerners – he was from Accrington apparently, way down in East Lancs. Urghhh.

Very, very nice pics there Grum – inspired 🙂

(just had a poke around your flickr stream too – superb!)

***Needs to book a long weekend in for a trip to Scotland***

If you didn’t have a much better government, better scenery, quieter roads, better towns, drier east coasts, bigger mountains, better access laws, a more relaxed lifestyle, more wilderness and nicer people you wouldn’t have to put up with us. 😉

Cheers cp! Get yourself there, it’s stunning. I’ve travelled a bit and it’s still probably my favourite place in the world. You need more than a long weekend though.

Aye pretty much. Funny how generally in the nicer bits of Scotland it seems to be mostly English people that live there. 🙂

Damn. Didn’t know we had this kind of terrain on our island 🙂

Inspired.

that’s all the time off I have this year now 🙁

BUT, I do need to get up there. Having travelled quite a bit, the highlands and islands are one area I’ve never been to. I don’t know why either, as it looks exactly ‘me’ every time I see pics!

Ohhh lovely,

Are Soft Southerns allowed up there these days?

I’m surprised there are still any left down sarf 😛

where was grand designs filming anyway?

Good to see Autumnwatch just down the road from where I grew up this year!

i love these scotland threads…………not only for beauty, but also for the staunch patriotism 8)
