    The West coast line to Mallaig is pretty special . Hammering a bike along the road that runs alongside it is excellent too .:D

    That's the problem with all those outdoor activities. When i did Ben nevis it was raining and misty but not actually too bad. The thunder and lightning started a couple of hours after we got back down and I really wouldn't have wanted to be up there then <yikes>

    Ben Nevis is probably a good comparison to Shetland to be honest.

    I've honestly never seen weather like the **** I witnessed in Shetland.

    Hope you dressed adequately Dan and not like some of the muppets that go into the mountains in trainers and T shirts .

    Always take a dinner jacket just in case :D

    Sounds about right.

    Weather doesn't seem to dampen the mood/turnout though. Think most of them are used to the **** weather.

    A black bin bag as a rainproof jacket and a Glasgow breakfast as emergency rations.

    If I was in the mountain rescue service and saw people like that needing help i'd be tempted to tell them to **** themselves. They should definitely be made to pay the costs.

    That list is unbelievably depressing.

    Borough Market <doh>

    You deserve to die if you've done all those things.

    Nope. I don't like Mars Bars. Or chocolate/toffee/sweet in general for that matter.

    Am sweet enough just by being me. *flutters eyelashes and blushes*

    I would like to shag a burd from each of the home nations before Scotland gets it's independence. Been with a couple of English (inc. the current Mrs Gayer), plenty of Scottish but amazingly no Welsh (despite spending a weekend in Aberystywth) and I've never been with a burd from Northern Ireland (to be fair, I've never met a decent looking burd from NI - that's no slight on the lovely woman of that part of the word, merely bad luck on my part).

    Of course, it means having to do the durty on the burd but it's got to be better than 95% of the ****e on that list.
