Absolutely fantastic. I started looking at these at work, around 5:30, and continued after my yoga class. It's now 11:00 pm and I need to go to bed!
I really don't know how you do it. How long were you 'on tour' for this time?

Indeed - Don't believe all you read about unreliable and overheating diesels. When maintained properly (thanks Ady ) they're bulletproofmikeonb4c wrote:...And that's a diesel Bongo folks

Re: Team Muz Scotland tour 2013
There was plenty of snow there. The track to the viaduct was well worn as it leads to a forestry site but if you turn sharp left after the viaduct - which loops back the other side of the visitor centre - that track was really dodgy and once you're on it you can't realistically turn round. We ploughed our way through to the end without incident but the snow was more like ice.Furydav wrote:A wee tip Muz, take some photos next time you go on tour, ha ha
Great stuff, surprised you got in as far as the Big Water of Fleet viaduct at Gatehouse station in the snow , it was drifting deep for a wee bit around Easter.
We'll probably try to get back there in the summer

A brilliant trip Brian, I think our best yet which is a surprise given the forecasted cold and the snow already there.briwy wrote:You made it then Paul. Fabulous trip.
I see you've Photoshopped out the rain again. How do you do it?? always rains when we go.
The last two days were wet but the rest were excellent, as you can see

Re: Team Muz Scotland tour 2013
Hi Gordon, not sure that would have been us. We were there on Tuesday 2nd about 10.00-10.30. But 30,000 litres of whisky would last us for a good whilethe laird wrote:Muzz photos fab but I'm gutted nae disappointed, it would be about 8-00 poss 9-00am I passed Kirkoswald ruin up from Souter Johnny's and I saw a Bongo parked there on its own I thought it looked like yours but kept going due to my motor being a 45 ton artic. This would have been up your streets I had just come from William Grant's distillery at Girvan, I had 29,750 ltrs o the stuff. Our paths must x one day

Just the two weeks - in fact only 13 days and 12 nights.Jillygumbo wrote:Absolutely fantastic. I started looking at these at work, around 5:30, and continued after my yoga class. It's now 11:00 pm and I need to go to bed!

I'll buzz you through a link to the map in case you want to add any of the places to your own tour

We'd seen deer from the train which we failed to get any good photos of but we were hopeful of seeing some where we had camped. On a previous mission Mrs Muz had sat up and watched a posse of deer descend during the night and eat all the food of some German backpackers - who woke up mightily confused the next morning!cazzyblues wrote:.... I agree with Northern Bongolows comments.
So, I was just clearing the condensation off the inside of the windscreen (no ice this time) when I saw a deer stood just the other side the van. Knowing how timid they are I quickly grabbed a camera and then dropped the case on the floor but didn't scare it off - I whispered to Mrs Muz but she couldn't see it on that side, neither could Muzette - so I lured it round to the other side of the van with a piece of bread. Then, from nowhere, there were another four loitering. Finally the one with the antennae on its head strolled across the river and we couldn't get rid of them until they'd cleared us out of bread - two loaves
Them and the whale made it a unique trip, that Muzette will probably never forget

Re: Team Muz Scotland tour 2013
Quite possibly. This is for the Whitsun week (w/c 27th May) and I think the Scottish Deer Centre is about the nearest to you that we'll be coming - although we're always up for a detour!Driver+Passengers wrote:See you in Fife?
