With the heavy cloud there is not much to see until we get a glimpse of Coventry.

The Midlands were also hidden by cloud but West Yorkshire can be seen here at Dewsbury and Wakefield with the River Calder.

Leeds.

The Wharfe and Aire Rivers pass either side of Leeds Airport at Yeadon.

On the right is the River Ure in the Wensleydale area which will please Wallace and Grommit fans.

Just south of the border at Carlisle.

Megget Water flows into St Mary's Loch in the Scottish Borders area.

Edinburgh on the banks of the Firth of Forth.

I routed( pronounced root not rowt!) over the bridges hoping for a view but as luck would have it they were almost obscured by cloud.

The River Tay at Perth.

The beautiful town of Pitlochry which sits on the River Tummel.

And I thought Perth would be at the banks of the South Esk River. Or the Swan River :blink:

I hope you enjoy your trip to the Highlands.

I went in the early 70s as well and thoroughly enjoyed it, even the weather.:D

In the 70s we did camping, but now being a bit older we rent an appartment.

So no flooded tents anymore...;)
