Hi guys thought id share a few ( and i mean a few ) pictures from my trip up the Outer Hebs and back down the West Coast.
I covered 500miles from Oban and back in 9 days in some of the best weather Scotland had this year, i was so lucky!!

That looks bloody amazing
We did a whistle stop tour of the outer herbrides (4 of us in a citreon berlingo

), and I really enjoyed. Plan on popping back on a bicycle

Great shots, Mike. Tip for beach shots...walk around the back of the camera to get untouched sand in the foreground

Bothy looks like Cadderlie, on Mull to me.

It's that one I meant, I got the name mixed up with the bothy on Loch Etive
Tomsleidhe is a great bothy, there is the remains of a Dakota in the burn, just below the saddle of Ben Talaidh that is a fairly easy walk from the bothy.

Looks fantastic.
I'm putting all my kit on my bike and trying my best to reduce stuff but your trip look huge and you seem to have less bags than I have.
Maybe I like my comforts too much.
Do you have anymore pics?

Super pics there, looks like a great trip.
The spot for the tent with the lighthouse in the background looks a bit cosy between the rocks!

Gairy its the olympus tough 1 series quite old now think the 4 is out but it has a magic filter on it and also a miniture filter which works really well also. im pleased with the pics but as i found out the tough statement is alittle bit misleading as they say it will take a drop from 1.5m. Hmmmm mine broke on a 3ft fall to the ground!! not too tough hey? Also waterproof although not sure mine is now
