Podcast
I synced my iPhone with iTunes, on my return last night, after three weeks I needed to back it up – but it also uploaded the latest podcasts.
Today was catch up day, at work, which meant driving to a number of clients to get jobs up and running for the coming weeks – that gave me time to listen to some of these podcasts. I listened to Escape Pod and was reminded by two stories why it is one of my favourite podcasts. So if you like good science fiction stories then check out the episodes; EP306 Radio Nowhere by Douglas Smith and EP305 Midnight Blue by Will McIntosh.
The Journey Home
We are coming home via Loch Ness, Fort William, Glencoe and then Glasgow and the motorways.

Glencoe – Lunch
We found somewhere to park along the route for a lunch stop.
A brew up and a chance to fill the flask for later. We really needed the extra wind shield in addition to the “built in” wind shield on the Crusader Burner – even so the wind was strong enough to push the flames onto the hardboard base and set it alight! The Crusader Mug lid I had made for me was also essential to get the pot to boil – thanks Mark – get yours here, from The Little Frog Group.
Small change of plans in the end, there were severe hold ups on the motorways around Glasgow, so we headed across to Perth on the A85 and then on down the A1 eventually.
And a photo in England.
And then we were gone…
It is time to go home. By 7.15am we were all packed and on our way to Tesco for diesel and breakfast. Luckily the rain held off.
All that was left was a shadow of where we had been.
And then we were gone… Read More »
Washing Up!
The weather has turned really nice now, so time for one more mug of tea in the sunshine. However JSC played his ukulele instead of washing up the Crusader mug from lunchtime. So time for some improvisation – our MSR Ti Kettle on the Crusader Burner.
Falls of Shin
We have seen salmon leaping here at the Falls of Shin in past years, however today we did not see any. There was a lot more water coming over the falls than I have seen in previous years and it is colder as well, may be these factors have put the salmon off.
