Perfect Weekend!
Guinness - 16/6/08 at 09:12 AM

I think I've just about had the perfect weekend.

Friday morning my son and I cycled to school. I rode home, put the bike away, packed the car and blatted from Newcastle to Fort William, via Edinburgh / Stirling and across the tops to Crianlarich.

Met up with the boys for a mate's stag do.

Then on Saturday we walked up Ben Nevis, having a go at a bit of Extreme Ironing on the way.

Sunday, drove back home, including a bit of a 'spirited' drive with an Aston Martin.

Got home just in time for a bit of Fathers Day time with my son, before settling down to watch Dr Who!

450 miles, no breakdowns, no major incidents, only 1 minor (got a stone caught under the accelerator pedal during an overtake! causing it to stick wide open!).

Oh and I met Seabass too!

Only slight downside was I missed all of Le Mans, and I'm a bit sore today!

Cheers

Mike

You did this all in the MK?

Nice part of the work there!!

Seabass from Dumb and Dumber? I met him a few years back (he's an ice hockey player if memory serves me correct...)

Sounds like a cracking weekend indeed!

Glad your trip went well did you get a view from the top of Ben Nevis?

Yup, when we got up there it was thick cloud and 3 degrees c. As i wandered about on the plateau trying to get a mobile signal all of a sudden it cleared almost completely and I found myself stood on the edge of a cliff with a view of Ft William and 4 bars of signal!

Mint!

Glad to hear you had a good trouble free weekend. I must have sent you the text just as you got the 4 bars signal! Good timing.

surely meeting Seabass was the highlight.

Yep - I had an irate Mrs in the car so couldn't chat. Looked like you were having fun though!
