plans for another extensive field trip after Easter 2007 are underway. Similar to the last one in many ways we will also hope to visit some of the places we just didn't have time for last trip. We also are hoping for a trip on the West Highland railway. I'm trying to find contacts in Mull, Skye and Lewis - the latter two will be 'firsts' for us.
the list of places goes something like this:
Windermere
Carlisle,
Glasgow,
Arran,
Tarbert,
Lochgilphead,
Mull,
Ardnamurchan,
Mallaig
Skye
Harris/Lewis
Ullapool
top west corner of the highlands...
Wick
Orkney
Shetland
Aberdeen
Edinburgh
Stirling
Lincolnshire
home.
It would be nice to spend a week at most of the places - but I don't think that will be possible!
Provided we don't have unwelcome health interruptions we will leave a week after Easter and return mid-late June. Details have yet to be arranged! We intend, as last time, to take a tent. Unlike last time we hope that there will be more opportunities for us to STAY with people. We seek to make contacts in advance of leaving so that I can at least be sure we can get our clothes clean and use a bath-tub!
