Right-O boys. I have been meaning to do this for a while, so I've decided to throw it out there now.
I usually go on a little solo tour of the Highlands in the Spring time. This year I went to the lakes, which was beautiful and a nice change... But I prefer it up here because its quiet, wild and spectacular.
So, for all you Foccers who have never visited the Skye, The Highlands or even Scotland, now (next Spring) might be a perfect opportunity.
I have been to Skye several times and there is lots to see and do. If you want to ride your bike relentlessly, that is an option. The bunny ears are tremendous fun and can be completed a few times in a day. But there is also Whisky tasting, Mountaineering, Hiking, Beaches, Bars and more.
I stay in Portree because it is a great central location. There is a brilliant pub there that serves cold beer and ale, the food is great and portions are generous, and the barmaids are hired based on the weight of their tata's. Well, at least that was the case when I was there last.
I am booked up for March 9th-12th. I plan to do a bit of Mountaineering (not booked yet), riding, eating and drinking. I will leave Glasgow at roughly 9am on the 9th, and should arrive before dark. The road there is fast and amazing, and for those of you who have never made it past the border, it will be a really special treat (as long as we get the weather).
I invite all you Foccers to check your diary, see what holidays you are due and decide if you fancy an adventure.
Remember, it could be 13 degrees and sunny, but it could be 0 degrees and snowing. The disclaimer states that I do not decide the weather. We get what we get (but I have always been lucky
). The pictures are from February 2013.

Not quite sure what to do with my early mid-life crisis. Ideas on a post card to P.O.BOX 150...
