Hi Kendra,

Nice to see your husband has his priorities right but for us it will be just the wilds.I am fortunate in that my wife dislikes shopping malls and crowds as much as I do.We went last year but as you may have read in my first post I got pretty ill so we are hoping that this will be a better holiday.Having said that the weather seems to be turning a bit.Been glorious in the north of England where we are...just hope it stays good until the end of next week.Strangely enough I didn't see a lot I wanted to photograph.It is a beautiful place but having spent hours on the net looking for good locations I have to say it has been hard to find a lot of good images.Found the best on Pbase and a few in Rosity.Yes I have seen good images of Stonehenge but I think you need to get it just at the right time other wise it just looks like any other holiday snap.Stonehenge is quite a haul from us as we are in the north west of England and even the drive to are holiday location is going to be about seven hours.That's without too many stops for a break so it will be even longer for us as there are locations on the route we will stop at.After about three hours drive we hit just two way roads all the way along Loch Lomond and into the hills..no motorways where we are going and if you get stuck behind anything that's it,very little chance to over take.if you get the chance to look at a map ( Google maps are good ) we have hired a cabin near a place called Strontian over looking Loch Sunart.Thanks for your email.
