I have to say I am a little disappointed with the videos. I was expecting you two in kilts, or face paint or hell even a tutu or something...... :mrgreen:

Seriously, great stuff. I was following along with the blog, really impressed and very motivating.

Chuffed to bits mate you`ve enjoyed the blogging :grin: in a perfect world I would have researched the use of wifi & dongles so that we could have given more updates. Unfortunatly there where a lot of areas with no reception, no free wifi or if there was I couldn`t get the laptop to connect properly. Oh & I was too tired to think straight which makes writing blogs quite difficult :lol:

I can`t wear a kilt, no Scottish bloo that I am aware of. Could wear some English armour but that might upset the locals :mrgreen:

Next years trip we will have all the bugs sorted out & the updates will be a lot more frequent.

An alternative camera angle video of S69`s first Dinnie stone lift has now been posted.

at 14 seconds you can see air under that clearley all the way so even though to me it didnt feel as good it was a good lift


shame julie mucked up the video on the second one as that could have been (felt like it anway) better than 1st
