God save the Queen

Beinn Eighe range

The queen gave us all a couple of days off for her jubilee, god bless her, so that and the weekend gave us a good four days out in Torrridon. Kinlochewe caravan club site is in a great situation with a number of walks straight out fro the site itself. Took a walk out through the Beinn Eighe National park and onto Meal a' Ghiutheas this challenging Corbett gives great views over the Beinn Eighe range and Ruadh-stac Beag, both of which I hope to climb in the future. This area has claimed me and I will be back for more.
The following day we walked up Abhainn Thraill for a geocache, not a great many in the area that I hadn't found.
The van itself performed well on this trip, the new engine gave me no problem. I had bought a couple of walkie talkies and this was the first real test, we were talking across 
3 1/4 miles  very well, it was quite fun.
Anyway a few more weeks of work then off for seven weeks with the prospect of our first continental van trip.

 Felix enjoying the jubilee.
