What ribbing is all about. Credit to all of you for getting out there and doing it all as a team looking after each other. V jealous, though as soon as my daughter is old enough to take out, these types of trips will be remembered by both of us for life, like you guys, particularly you and Jo TT!
Well done guys.

Invasion plans are being drawn up as we speak 
The west coast of Scotland should be on everyone's list of places to go in a Rib. The Scenery is Fantastic, so much to see and enjoy. Take no notice of the Scots on here this place is big enough for everyone.
We have met some lovely people and made lots of new friends we will certainly be back.

Looks amazing guys....
Tony/Hadd/Maximus - where did you stay?
Thinking of getting north at half term in October.
Advice from the locals - can you still get some cracking days then or will the weather have closed in for the winter?

Spring bank week is traditionally the best weather for the west coast. We'd be up for that.
