Well if you read project y's porogress report you will see we had a badly leaking tank and instea dof wastign the juice we went on a drive.

So Amber, my mum and I set off on a wee trip in the beast.

Headed to the campsies to go over the 'tak me doon', never broke any of my records over that section of road.

Best memory of this stretch was me in my blue 1.4 and Soneji in his 1.4 rt clio. He tried his best to match me, at a hairpin he went up an embankment and nearly ended up in a field. That was hilarious. Earlier that same day we were at loch lomond and my 19 jumped as always square and true and his clio jumped and crazy paved the windscreen! lol

Anyway we never stopped in the campsies so some photos out the window

At the base

in the centre of the pic you can just make out an old house, getting to it is a very long walk, as you have to go down into the 'coffin' cros the river and climb up the other side
