    Wow, what a day! Met up with the chaps in Inveraray at around 1000, left theirs at 1100 then went up into the mountains and bogs (bogs that bikes can get totally sunk in![:0]) and had an awesome adventure even though due to my lack of ability we never did the Munro (3000′ mountain) We still got up pretty high and I got stuck pretty deep![:I] lol

    There were times where I just wanted to stop but once we got up a bit higher and I got into the swing of things better I really started to enjoy the riding, the scenery was spectacular but due to the terrain I never got many chances to fully absorb what was around us. I still got to have a gander at it from time to time and it seriously blew my socks off, we could see for probably 50miles in some places, totally stunning!

    My pics are a bit of a let down and really don’t do justice to how beautiful it was up there, Brian who was one of my guides took some pics with a proper camera and I’ll post them up once he emails me copies

    Anyways, some pics as always:

    the drive to Inveraray:

    The getting to the mountains was probably the hardest riding technically I’ve had to do so far, but once up a bit there were a lot less bogs and pete marshes, well not quite true, I think I just got better at spotting them after lots of close inspections! [:I]

    The rest were taken when we finally stopped for food and in my case fuel (which I had strapped to me back with gaffa-tape LOL

    I managed to taste several streams too as well as going over the bars a few times, once with the bike summersaulting onto me nads! [B)] hahaha, I think I may not be able to father kids now! :D lol

    Will post any other pics as I get them [:)]

    I may be 2 days early, but I reckon those shots of your bike stuck in the mud are good “photo of the month” material.

    Pete and Max are fighting it out as usual, we all must get out there and get some good shots. These two are putting us to shame!
