Packing bucket and spade (The lake, sorry Loch, boasts a beach) Golf Clubs, Tennis rackets, midge repellent, books, more repellent. Hope that we do not get another landslide in the Highlands en route. The A9 was blocked a week ago and is now passable 'Speed restrictions in force' 'Allow extra time' No advisory however about caravans; they are the scourge of The A9 which only has very small stretches of dual carriage way and the massive towed vehicles can manage 45 mph with difficulty and rarely dream of moving into laybys to let the smaller vehicles overtake-most caravan drivers have 'sod you mate' written all over their tailgates-the longer the fuming tail back, the greater their delight. And when you do manage to squeeze by the vertical digit (or two) is the normal courteous response.
Our Relis in Killin are more or less cut off by the massive landslide which blocked both roads from the South. No phones either. But they can get away North which is fortunate as that is the direction of Loch Insh. So happy gatherings tomorrow and hope too windy for fun family sails.
Bloggees be patient. Normal service to be resumed in a week or so.If we are spared. Kingussie may have a cybercaff-it may even have Broadband so you could be lucky if Huttonian needs the confessional. In the meanwhile Campers you will be Happy. That is an order.
