DAY 5 OF THE SCOTTISH SEASON 16/17 After Saturday’s white out I drove into Fort William to recover and get a bite to eat, while writing up Saturday’s blog post, however I was met with server issues and an unresponsive host (Easily Domains, avoids them!). I jumped about from the Grog and Gruel (great wifi and […]
