Headed to Scotland

[aka blue jambo]

Get to Edinburgh .. busying so it feels like a holiday but so much quieter than usual.
Castle just reopened last weekend

Cardenden is a lovely place (it's not really). I'm about 15 minutes away from there as it happens.

My eldest lad lives in Crossford and is a very keen cyclist. He cycles all over Fife, the rough and the smooth. He tells some stories.

I’ll second that. I got told about that product in Wasdale, and that Scottish Anglers swear by it. I used it on the Isle of Skye, which is pretty bad for the little blighters, and it works a treat.

It’s an urban myth. I’m a Scottish angler and I can tell you that only chemical warfare strength deet stops the little bastards. Unfortunately it also melts your sunglasses and fly line too.

Was only in Edinburgh....is one of the finest cities/towns on the planet. Fantastic new and old quarters, few days would be worth it. The mozzies will be raw in the highlands so get garlic in ye!!! Would love to return as I think Scotland is amazing and the folk are wild.

Does he cycle between car parks during the evenings?

Does he cycle between car parks during the evenings?

No. He is a happily married cyclist.
He has had to cycle fast to avoid attack dogs/has been injured by booby traps set across cycle paths/ been bricked by locals who take exception to men in Lycra/has had altercations with motorists too many to count. He can be a bit mouthy though. Gets that from his mum.

Embarrassed to say I've never been near 99% of the places named on this thread and haven't heard of quite a good few of them. Off to aviemore at the end of the month for a sex pond break, looking forward to seeing that neck of the world.

Pitlochry/killiecrankie is a lovely area near Loch Tay.

i'm the same mate, lived here all my days and barely scraped the surface. We have an incredible country, unfortunately let down by horrendous weather.

Haha

This is the spot:

That is indeed the spot, thank you.

I have a picture of me with wife and kids stood right in front of the river.

Probably not the best time to come up, weather has been wank for weeks and everywhere is heaving.

If you do, book everything ahead of time.
