Hum will have to check my diary and see if I have that Sunday free and take a trip down  ;)

I am sure that there are a few people going along that would love to catch up with you... myself included.    :o

We never checked to see if TopGun Scotland had camped on the other side of the hill because he got lost in the mist. Well, it's Scotland, at least it wasn't raining.  ;D
It was great to meet you all. I'll post some stills tomorrow.  :)

Hey guys i got 300 yards from my house and got rear ended in the car, not much damage but was enough to put a downer on me, really spoilt the good mood i was in , i wanted to be up that hill in the mist haha,  i'll be posting a wee video of my own flight today, glad you all enjoyed the meet though, cringing since i wasnt there,  next time all, and i'll bring some soup and tea  :)

Glad you had a good day out, looked a nice venue. In the end the Sat Nav's 3hr-50min estimate each way + an iffy forecast was the deciding factor for me.

I headed West across to Assynt where the weather was being more cooperative! T-shirt, 20deg at 1000ft, balmy zephyr. 2 mile hike up over huge slab rock was sweltering. My 1yr old Lab's tongue was dragging on the ground  :P

Some stills from the day - frame capture from GoPro Hero with model nose left in view for some idea of perspective. Damn, was it misty at times, so no decent long distance views and rather flat colours. Still it meant the trees were not magnetic and it provided good cover for the wild haggis so we didn't bag any.  ;D

Glad you had a good day out boys - shame the weather didn't play nicely.

Sorry I couldn't join you - we had a sudden storm surge on Saturday and one boat broke loose and battered the boat next to it so Sunday was a busy day for me !!!

Maybe next time - anyone fancy a trip over to the west coast - Castle Stalker - McCaigs tower - Kilchurn Castle - Bridge over the Atlantic - ???

Glad the haggis made themselves scarce - the Spaghetti trees provide great camouflage don't they??  :+ :+ :+

I'm supposed to be crewing on a boat through the Crinan Canal some time this Summer but no dates and no route yet planned. The skipper is an aeromodeller returning to the fold so I will work on him to moor or berth at Dusnstaffnage at some point on his West coast trip.  :D
