Long-distance Series
« on: April 18, 2012, 11:04:47 AM »
The old girl's got some life in her - doh! - the landy, not me!

Here are three pictures taken 14 days apart. The first is in Hautefort, southwestern France close to where my mother lives. The second near Kinlochleven and the last at Reiff, Wester Ross, overlooking the Summer Isles.

The round trip, starting from Glasgow and via London and Paris was more than 2,500 miles and included a wee bit of light off-roading, snow and even a very welcome day of 30C sun.

It's amazing what the wagon can do.
