It...Yes, 'plying' is definitely classy. It's years since I've been to Oban. I remember the rain, and the whirlpool. To my alarm, my daughter is taking part in the Mod this year, but I've subcontracted the going to Oban with her to my husband, who I don't think quite realises what he's in for.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11269887100694066103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6395447442464891403.post-55155017627316163292009-06-26T19:11:52.206+01:002009-06-26T19:11:52.206+01:00Three days at age 14!

I do try and get out camping at weekends to see a bit of this wee country but even that gets blown out by weather, gigs, parties, general slackness.<br /><br />Vancouver though? How can you avoid that amazing city? I was there for about 3 days when i was 14 and loved it. One day, when the time is right if i've nothing else on and i can be bothered i really will return.<br /><br />My handrails are definitely in the post.naldohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17563789247589179756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6395447442464891403.post-62224746520880783292009-06-25T17:34:36.886+01:002009-06-25T17:34:36.886+01:00It's amazing that people often don't explo...It's amazing that people often don't explore their own places. <br /><br />I can practically smell Vancouver from here but haven't set foot in it in over 10 years (except inside the airport on connecting flights off the rock I live on) and I've yet to hike on trails here that attract people from around the globe. <br /><br />'Some day'... 'it's just right there if I wanna go'... etc. Good on you for busting through that.<br /><br />And nothing like a good case of delayed onset muscle soreness to make you start eyeing up all those handrails in the disability loos as possible additions to your own. ;-)ms toast burnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01814575117201965403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6395447442464891403.post-42440965244804357732009-06-25T09:24:14.519+01:002009-06-25T09:24:14.519+01:00J, i know exactly what you mean.

Since the advent of cheap air travel (that's a lie, since cheap Inter Rail tickets in the late 70's) i've been swifter to nip to Europe than i have to investigate this magic group of islands i live among. Only been to Ireland 4 times and never been to Wales, which is disgraceful.<br /><br />It's probably easier for Scots to visit England than vice versa cos we tend to have friends and family working/living there. St Kilda though - if you ever get a chance, take it. It's almost mythical in my mind and i'm super excited about the prospect of camping there for a few nights next summer. Oh aye.<br /><br />Ingles by the way. That's brilliant.naldohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17563789247589179756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6395447442464891403.post-69512873015665254572009-06-25T09:17:53.118+01:002009-06-25T09:17:53.118+01:00JJ, I love the loneliness of the Highlands too but...JJ, I love the loneliness of the Highlands too but Oban's okay as large Highland settlements go. It's way prettier than Fort William, Inverness, Dingwall, even Ullapool (oh oh, the wrath of the heelans will rain down on me for that). I'd give it another go - it's got great pubs, restaurants and a few groovy wee independent shops.naldohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17563789247589179756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6395447442464891403.post-49439088096924296022009-06-25T09:10:19.484+01:002009-06-25T09:10:19.484+01:00Right enough, Johnny, what were those flyin wee ni...Right enough, Johnny, what were those flyin wee nippy sweeties like?

Much to the astonishment of my American friends I've never been to Scotland - living on the south coast it's normally cheaper and easier to fly out to continental europe that wend my way to scotland.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16307649445757209162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6395447442464891403.post-24954620234741987642009-06-24T09:28:30.008+01:002009-06-24T09:28:30.008+01:00I need to go and give Oban another chance.
