This sure was a weird discovery in the Kilmartin Glen, pretty much just plonked randomly in some forest! It is apparently some art piece, part of the Half Life series of land art. For more details, see http://www.halflife.org.uk/
Scotland was chocca full of foxgloves. They sure are beautiful flowers.
The Achnabreck Rock carvings. These are some of the oldest rock carvings in the UK, about 5000 years old. This is known as the ring and cup patttern.
Wonderful wooden bike trails through the forest. Pretty cool, as they curve up on the corners, so great fun to run along!
Taking the back roads - some locks
Temple wood standing stones
Bats sure had a long way to sprint for this timed photo, much to the amusement of the other tourists!!
In Disguise
Kintraw standing stone, overlooking Loch Craignish.Practising my current favourite, the reverse C jumping style.
One of the coolest sculptures I have seen in a while, just hanging out at a road intersection. Needless to say, we went the other way!
A detour on the craignish peninsula
Kirkton Church
I was intruiged by the amazing feather-like look of this seaweed. As it was getting pretty warm, we stopped for a swim in the seaweed. BRRRR!!
Here's looking at you kid!
Strike a pose. Looking good!
So many of the geocaches we did were at war memorials.
Hooray, celebrating cache find number 1500!! Wicked!!!

funky bridge

Bats does the "hopping mad midge slap attack dance". This is a traditional Scottish Dance, done throughout summer, and is often finished off with the age old Celtic cry, passed down from father to sun, "Lets get the fuck out of here"!!!
What trip to Scotland would be complete without another visit to Castle Stalker! I can't believe those dunces who live there have not got a cache hidden here. Fools!!!
This lady was rowing out to the castle. We stopped her for a chat, and she actually owns the castle! Her family had it repaired in the 60s, and her brother was one of the knights next to John Cleese, helping out with some french taunting of King Arthur. Nice!!

Love the reverse C jumping style - a winner. Tougher on the back though than the standard Myburghian leap but very good on the eye. I'll have to give it a try.
