Very good summation Geoff.

That was me trying to hang out the window after a couple of whiskies.

We got to our accommodation in Durness earlier than expected today and I was pleasantly surprised to find Haydock Park being broadcast on ITV. Backed a couple of winners but the main point of this post is the superiority of the product and presentation compared to Trackside. It was really entertaining and even my racing agnostic wife was interested. Staying at Smoo Cave Hotel tonight. This is the view from our window. Apparently nothing between here and the Arctic Circle.

Moral victories don't count either 🤨

Posting before I get too pissed! Currently on the first day of our NorthCoast 500 driving trip in Scotland staying here. https://www.tighaneilean.co.uk/ A really sensational day's driving.
