When you are up there on the moors you'd never guess its only 20 minutes in the car from Glasgow.<br />I was going to go up to Skye for the first May weekend but the weather looks grim.blueskyscotlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09373718369702364265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-3082390406212616622013-04-24T01:29:44.450+01:002013-04-24T01:29:44.450+01:00I haven't heard the latest Bowie - I probably ...I haven't heard the latest Bowie - I probably gave up on him when he became mainstream. I did admire him for being able to stay successful in the music world for so long though.<br /><br />That first shot of the Arran peaks is a cracker! :-)<br /><br />I used to sleep in my car up above Largs - up near Loch Tom - very peaceful and pleasant :-) I remember having a great evening of heavy drinking and laughter with 3 of the locals in a bar all one evening (2 guys and a girl) - of course, they were doing the drinking as I'd already given up by then. They were very friendly though and I won't ever forget the evening, it was fun and really nice for a stranger to the area to be made so welcome.<br />Carol.Carolhttp://www.mountaincowardadventures.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-61203642409525474062013-04-21T23:41:41.293+01:002013-04-21T23:41:41.293+01:00Hi Neil.

Longer way in but the scenery makes up for it.blueskyscotlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09373718369702364265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-86623418866631984642013-04-21T16:26:38.763+01:002013-04-21T16:26:38.763+01:00That looks great Bob.

I will definitely use your route some time, looks as though its worth leaving for a clear day.

'Shit. you call that dark.... This is dark!'<br />I've not actually put any of my darker collection of you tube videos on here yet. Don't want to scare off the horses or anyone else viewing :)<br />This is my nice and gentle, middle of the road collection, so far.blueskyscotlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09373718369702364265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-13320777094090502532013-04-21T02:15:21.028+01:002013-04-21T02:15:21.028+01:00Hi Anne.

Beyond that point going downstream its not suitable for children. Alternatively The Castle hill view point can be reached from a small car park on the A760 just above Largs beside some trout fishing ponds. From here its a short easy walk on a grassy path to Castlehill and fantastic views.Very suitable for young children on a good day. Douglas park and the square one across the main road are good as well.blueskyscotlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09373718369702364265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-40828556319361665642013-04-20T23:13:16.260+01:002013-04-20T23:13:16.260+01:00Brilliant views Bob.

Definitely worth enlarging the pictures to take a look.<br />I guess Gogo Street got up and went.<br /><br />If music can be Avante Garde, then I guess that's Coco and Rosie. Looked at their Wikipedia page and they've led quite illustrious lives. I wonder what happened on the US/Canada border in 2007. Cold Specks are over in the States at the moment opening for Jim James. Have a look on Youtube at his 'A New Life' video. A slow start and maybe not dark enough for you but I think you'll like it.<br /><br />The Glebe Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09609629219727888442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-25981605092551754722013-04-20T20:11:50.339+01:002013-04-20T20:11:50.339+01:00Fabulous views, much better than the ones you get ...Fabulous views, much better than the ones you get from the waterside in Largs.
