Scotland sounds good to me, only went there last sunday to finish bedding my engine in lol.

Fort william sounds a good stop to hit Ben Nevis distillary or maybe go up the old mountain ;) good days hiking.

But yer theres always the Isle of Skye and Taliska.

Before you say it i did a 3 week tour of Scotland a few years ago.

Would need to know by January so i could book my holidays off prior to everyone else in my department.

Bowmore distillery on Islay must have one of the most scenic locations, that or Bruichlaiddich that faces it across Loch Indal.
Mind you Bunnahabhain, Laphroig, Ardbeg and Lagavulin also have pretty unique views.

I still think you are missing out on an awful lot of the best scenery by ignoring the West Coast in favour of going up towards Speyside.

Here's the sort of sight you'll be missing.

my choice is obvious also. Scotland it is for me... probably wouldnt make the whole 5 days, but atleast a couple nights. You really should head up to fort william though, gorgeous place no matter the weather. Just too many choices. :roll:

If you go Fort William to Skye then you could take the road up past Loch Carron to Achnasheen then stop off at Inverness for a night via Muir of Ord (Ord Distillery).

It's a lot to fit in a day I suppose and there will be too many photo opportunities that you wouldn't wanna miss. But it is just a suggestion. Plus I could come meet ya at Skye and drive home to Inverness. :)

AND LOOK AT THESE ROADS!!!!

Sounds fun, but would obviously be up to Mr Chappell, and if he had time off etc. If he wasn't at Fottie.

Dupe!!!!!! You don't sleep in a Tent, i'm in shock..i had you down as a Camper. Thought you'd have been a boy Scout! Hotel's FTW!x

Shellz, re-read your notes!! They state that he's camp not that he's a camper!
You've seen that photos of him posing in an embroidered polo shirt, showing off his new red nail varnish, haven't you? :D lol

And he's sooooo proud of that photo it's all over his web site too! :D

Is this a topic to plan a road trip, or gang up on Daz?
I like the sound of both.
