If you are going away somewhere and don't mind meeting up with other Bongo owners or if you've been somewhere & want to tell us about it & stick up your photos, put the details here.

Ferries totalled about £360, the Lismore one was expensive for what it is but I didn't fancy going from Port Appin on a bike. The Corrour train / hotel / restaurant wasn't cheap either but an unforgettable experience. Other than the Loch Leven Seafood Café meal, and maybe the Ee-Usk meal, the rest of the fortnight was definitely on a shoestring :wink: :lol:

From May there's a new Ardrossan to Campbeltown service which would have saved us a whopping £6.50 instead of going via Arran. But then Muzette wouldn't have got to play the Brodick castle Bechstein :wink:

Yet another great tour Paul
Think our wildest night was under the Butt of Lewis lighthouse.
Apart from the wind it got bloody light every 30 seconds
A few drams helped though

I would walk 500 miles.

Oh yeah, just had an email from Caledonian MacBrayne telling me they're planning to use one of the pics in their 2015 calendar for a small fee :D

This one.....

The Scots are really tight Muz. I would have thought that your picture would be worth at least a free crossing on one of the routes.

Oddly enough, ferry tickets would be cheaper for them as they're always likely to be able to squeeze another car onto a ferry so that doesn't actually cost them anything.

They need 13 pictures, one for each month plus the cover. The cover wins £250.00 in CalMac vouchers and the other 12 win £50.00 Amazon vouchers, which unless you had an upcoming tour in mind would be more useful. So they pay £850.00 for photos, plus artwork, printing etc and they're flogging the 2014 calendars (which also has one of my photos in =D> ) for £2.00 each - they need to shift a lot of them to make that commercially viable!

Not all Scots are tight Tony. I remember lending a friend of min £5.00 at 4.45 on 5th May 1992, and lost sight of it twice before getting it back at 4.53........ :D

Muz. Get them to pay you in breakfasts. They do a great 'full Scottish' on most of the longer runs. :wink:

So there I was, on a quiet Saturday afternoon, flicking through various Scottish websites in search of inspiration for an upcoming tour, like you do, and I spotted this...

Then I looked a bit closer and though "Wait, hold on a minute, I'm sure I recognise that photo in the righthand corner...
