A tale of Victorian town hall urinals, the incredible 'how many broon coos can you fit in a trailer?', a girl from Devon with a nice bottom, punctures and bulging tyres, peach sheep, the inaccessible village (it's a local village for local people), Velo's run in with the shonky Fiesta and the cattle-grid, the magical open tea room, Rob's pocket speed camera for single-track lawbreakers, the Ben Lawers descent and Killin' by sundown...

It all sounds intriguing ZZ, but I am particularly interested in this bit.....

especially if there is photographic proof. :shock:
 
ZigZag has a way with words indeed but just about summed it up in one paragraph.

Despite the weather and steep hills it was another grand MacRetro day out.
 
Couple of my crappy mobile photos as a wee teaser...
