Did you pick her up 'north of the border' or take her with you halfway back to her namesake mountain?

As my previous posts Nigel. We were invited to Scotland to view "Suilven" -- spent a week with the owner learning first hand how she worked & how to get the best out of the steam plant ,safely; & then all my pocket money changed hands & we became her new owners; trailered home yesterday -- 450 miles.

 

The story goes that the builder & his wife spent many happy hours in & around the area of Mt Suilven.

Hi Al, yes even on flat calm waters you need your "sea legs" as with a beam of just 5' 6" she rocks when-ever people move about.

 

After a week on board Sylvia & I still felt the ground moving under our feet when ashore.

Land lubber trying to regain his sea legs more like ---- fortunately Lock Katrine was a whole lot calmer than when we sailed in a 70 foot schooner across Bay of Biscay --- I was greener than your car Andi.

1 kilo of coal for 20p - where's that from?

[richardm6994]

I pay £95 for half a ton - so that works out at 19p per kg, so it sounds like Bob's being ripped off
