ok ok I've been a bit slow updating on here, but now it's the weekend here we go..

Anthony - thanks very much your help/advice/links ... having a look at both yours and Eddie's websites I don't think I could have asked for much more qualified aid! Inverpollaidh sounds great, gonna read up on that a bit, but long walks may be out of the question due to time constraints. I've certainly made a mental bookmark though..

If I only make it to one place, it's likely to be the Glenfinnan viaduct, but I'll factor in whatever else I can on the way there and back. I checked the train times and figured I should aim to be in position sometime around 11am or 1:15pm assuming it's about 1/3 of the way along the line from Ft William to Mallaig. It's likely to be a spur of the moment journey based on the weather forecast..

Speaking of which, Rich decided to postpone his expensive train ticket given the showery forecast on the west coast this weekend, but it's not such a long journey for me so I'll try and get "oot and aboot" sometime soon regardless... with plenty of midgie spray in tow ;)

almost drove down to the Forth bridge yesterday as the light was so nice and I'm yet to photograph it, but decided it'd make more sense to stop off on my voyage home in a couple of weeks. I'm guessing it's easier to get a good angle from between the bridges in South Queensferry than from the north side.... Rich? input?

anyway there's my little update of sorts, thanks you guys for the help, you rock!
