I was quite happy with where I live (surburban red brick estate on outskirts of Northampton) until I saw where LobeyDosser lives.  In a mood now ... and they can last all day ...

Och, its not all that good!

I have to walk at least 50 yards before I get to the farm fields and it is another 50 yards passed these to the path through the woods that leads up onto the hill.

On the real downside, because of where the loch is, although our nearest town is only a mile away as the seagull flies, it is 15 miles by road and half of that is a B-road along the lochside. Very twisty and hilly and in the dark I can meet Cows, Sheep, Deer and Foxes.

Once, coming home from the pub, two up on a motorbike, we just missed a jet black bullock standing in the middle of the road. It was only in daylight the following morning that on inspecting the bike, I found a tuft of black hair on the end of the rubber grip on the handlebars. It was that close!

Anyways, tonights tea are two Fish Suppers and a 30 mile round trip to get them.

Does the Clachaig Inn still have a sign regards Campbells :) I used to go there when I was a lot younger when hillwalking :)

Yes, it does. I've only been in there once, last October, for about 5 minutes, but I did notice some such sign. Did it say, 'No Campbells'?
