Hi Marlon, are you touring round the north coast or staying in one place? Always fancied that nc500 route as the scenery looks so stunning, must look even better with the autumn colours :)

Ok, to answer a few questions - we are on Skye for a week. Rained pretty much all the way here. Forecast for tomorrow is heavy rain and gales. Hells Bells!

Beautiful place through, raining or not... :wink: We had a week up there last year and it was blazing sunshine everyday on the beach. Luck of the draw I suppose.
