Loch Lomond day out

Hi Guys

Just a short vid of todays trip to Loch Lomond.

20 - 30 MPH winds so the only sensible option (bar the pub )

I feel bad now sitting in and watching the grand prix and Ryder cup instead......the central heating was a tad warm at times, nearly took drastic measures and open a window!

Seriously though, looks good and amazing the brief weather break you got at one point.

Looks good bud, good upgrade for you and good lady there, here's to many happy miles

P.s I'm so over these damn LED lights, if I could weld ( never tried, don't have the gear) I would be much further along. The machine shop that made up my new poles are useless...22mm off square across an 8" bit of steel. I think the guard dog welded it!

Yep
Weather was pants but at least we've still got somewhere we can have a play when it's blowing a gale.

That's not such bad weather, it looks a good day out!

Nice bit of protection you've made there, wise imho.

Definitely not as bad as forecast, couple of heavy showers and a wee bit windy but well worth the going out for the day.

Don't think the planned trip to Tarbert Loch Fyne would have been such a docile affair.......
