It's ok, the constant drizzle and midgies will soon dampen the spirits of the newbie tourist hordes

A work colleague will be up there this weekend. He is from Romania and has friends over for a road trip around Scotland. His original big idea was a link up of Aberdeen, Inverness and Glasgow. FFS!

Sent him a few links of the usual SE locations so he is now setting off for overnights in Aviemore, Durness, Applecross, and a B&B near Camusdarroch before back to Glasgow. Would have stayed at Achmelvich or Clachtoll but they were looking for a glamping stay rather than tenting if possible.

He was very excited this afternoon about the prospect. The weather forecast is, er, typical June. This could break him.

Good advice, wishing him luck.

I still have photos on my phone of the bonfires we have had on the west coast, which I of course let him see. He was utterly bewildered when he asked if it was ok to have campfires on the beach and I said it's fine but you will have to import your own firewood.

Now you are just baiting him!
