|

Cricket Match36 viewsSome school kids playing cricket. This was beside the first hostel I went to, after great difficulty finding (and resorting to a £3 cab).
|
|

Inverness Castle28 viewsA shot from High Street (moreorless) where my hostel (Eastgate) was.
|
|

Hidden Purpose?37 viewsChurch or place to keep tabs on Nessie? You be the judge.
|
|

Castle Inverness52 viewsI had to lay on my stomach on a steep slope to get this one, so you'd better like it!
|
|

Other Side35 viewsHere's the castle from the river.
|
|

Street View32 viewsJust a view down the street at some old buildings.
|
|

Pedestrian Bridge42 viewsOld meets new. Or is it new meets old.
|
|

Castle (again)32 viewsThere really wasn't anything to see in the town, so there are a lot of pictures of this castle.
|
|

Fields28 viewsThe first clearing we reached on our mountain bike expedition into the highlands.
|
|

Trail38 viewsPaul (closest) and Julian (further) on the trail we took for much of the way.
|
|

Going up34 viewsYou'll notice in most of these pictures that the trail is ALWAYS going up. I was, ironically, not up to it (but I did it anyway).
|
|

Proof44 viewsSince I knew noone would believe me, I've photoshop... err... got my picture taken... yes, that will do... on the trail.
|
|

Looking on the Loch34 viewsMy German compatriots, as usual, beat me to the clearing.
|
|

We made it...51 views1/3 of the way!

Again and to the left45 viewsSince we blocked the lake on the first shot, we tried again. There was nobody around, incidentally. This was my camera on a tree stump with the timer.
|
|

Loch Ness37 viewsAwaiting us coldly, so close but so very far. We wouldn't even see it again for another 10 miles.
|
|

More trail41 viewsThe uphill sometimes was enough that we had to just walk our bikes up. Quite often, actually.
|
|

Baaaa!42 viewsMore sheep than Scots.
