Scotland at Easter.














The Carnival made it's first trip up to Scotland this Easter.
We allowed a day to drive up there, 4 days of riding and a day to drive home again.
We were In the South West region.
The base was a lovely 20 berth log cab in on the shores of Loch Tey.
A beautiful and scenic area.














Riding en mass through 4 of the 7 Stanes areas was a great experience.
The weather was very kind to us with wall to wall sunshine (while it p****d down in the south of England)
Yes. We were blessed again.
The trails were quite technical and rocky but the climbing was not as severe as we were all expecting.
There were a few crashes in the rocky terrain.
I can take the credit for one of the biggest.

Ouch!!
















I must say that 4 weeks later I am still limping after that one!
A brilliant time had by all and we are looking forwards to our next trip up to sunny Scotland.
