Scottish Shenanigans

Something Broken, Something Blue

Waking up in the Cairngorms we were ready and rearing to start our first proper hike of the trip up Ben Vrackie.

We had some wonderful weather on the way up, a shame I jinxed it by saying so...

On the top, and exactly a year from the start of our engagement we took off our first rings and replaced them with something a bit more permanent.

It's safe to say that jinxing the weather on the way up was not the way to go...

Thoroughly soaked through we treated ourselves to comfort in style at a local truck stop. Not exactly the Ritz but boy did it feel good to have a hot shower!

Moira then decided to throw a tantrum by having her windscreen wiper break. Assuming that we might need to use the wipers at some point given Scotland's inclement weather we'll have to get that fixed.

After a whirlwind of a day we stopped off at a tiny loch for some nice reading and a Goulash, well deserved after a big hike.

20 Days left to goooooo!

A slightly dinged up Moira in pumping station in the magical town of Gainsborough With only 20 days left to go now the pressure is on to get Moira travelling ready. She is back in the garage tonight (hopefully!) only one more day to get any pesky goblins out of the gearbox and avoid any nasty shocks breaking down in rural Switzerland! We've got a few bits and bobs left to sort with her interior and getting the various paper works finalised. Although fortunately paperwork seems to be a job that has fallen under Danni's remit and not mine! This blogging business seems fairly straightforward (albeit with more coding than I was expecting) although I do have an overwhelming sense that I'm an internet blogger from 2006 with the quality of my posts and blog generally! Oh well... See you all when the big event finally kicks off on the 17th of Feb! - Rob

Past Adventures
