We tramped up hills, lit fires, ate delicious food (courtesy of Fiona), drank delicious wines (courtesy of Richard, and Bob) and went on a day trip to Ellenabeich.

My companions and hosts, on the Seil side of the Bridge Over the Atlantic:

It is traditional in Scotland to install boat cabins on the tops of hills (they’re used as hides when hunting haggis):

Tigh Beg is often surrounded by bleating idiots like this one:

Here’s a nice photo of Ruthie:

And here I am, attempting to email copy to The Herald (it only took four attempts):

Me, working hard

At Ellenabeich you will find the Highland Arts Exhibition (and an excellent microbrewery):

Inside the Highland Arts Exhibition hangs the work of outsider polymath C. John Taylor:

Um, some art

And finally, especially for Guy, a mostly-rotten sheep carcass:

More photographs are available here, or will be soon. Fans of needless geowankery can have a look at part of one of our walks on Google Maps (annoyingly, I didn’t remember that my new ‘phone has all sorts of fancy GPS features until halfway through our final trek).

Flickr + Del.icio.us + Weblog + Dad = Book http://submitresponse.co.uk/weblog/2005/02/18/flickr-delicious-weblog-dad-book/ http://submitresponse.co.uk/weblog/2005/02/18/flickr-delicious-weblog-dad-book/#comments Fri, 18 Feb 2005 12:29:36 +0000 http://mottram.textdriven.com/weblog/?p=825 So, Rob goes to see The Incredibles with his son, and the film’s design reminds him of a book, which he scans and puts on Flickr, which I see, and like, and add to my del.icio.us bookmarks, which show up here, where my Dad can see them, and then, a little while later, I go to the Post Office and collect a copy of the book.

Thanks Dad!
