It's a really nice spot Jim - the viewpoint is like a mini-Cairn o Mount 8)
Well, I jumped in the car this evening and took a run up there.
I guess the secret is knowing when the sun might make a good appearance :)
I'll not post a pic of the murky gloom at the top. Not really Insta material :damnfunny
The run over there was decent tho so if you're doing it again or something similar then gimme a shout :blackeye

We were there September last year during a nice spell.

I suspect the route there from yours is more interesting than from mine though :damnfunny

Definitely should get a photo opportunity with the two Italians - would look great! 8)

Great to hear it’s been a successful year.
No problems/expenses plus lots of fun times with the Alfa :thumbsup

Interested to hear a write up on Le Mans Classic.
Starting considering it for this year but looks it won’t work in with holidays plans.

Epic - love it and would love to see it in the flesh.

Did you see the ex-alfaholics mechanics car recently- would love it in theory, but not sure I can handle anything other than boring at the mo.

Had a cracking day a few weekends back on a charity classic car tour to Glencoe and back (with some royalty for company no less :o ) - weather was amazing and the old girl ran perfectly 8)

You actually forget how truly stunning the scenery is :love and it's all the more appreciated when not belting along in a Caterham or Elise :damnfunny

This pic was one of a few taken by the charity snappers - shame about the modern German cr4p - the 500 & CRX behind are ex-SEers :mrgreen: :cheers

Also - a benefit of the LHD is I spotted a scamera van coming back out of Glencoe, so stuck my left arm out and did the shooting-a-gun hand gesture at him (pow-pow), and he waved back :damnfunny
