Scotland west coast trip.. tell me where to go!!
TOMO replied to Bush Rummager's topic in General Talk
two other beaches i have thought of that are stunning ...but further up....Achmelvich and Clachtoll probebly a 3 hour drive from where you are staying....but worth it if its nice weather and you can be arsed.....you could stop off at Ullapool and have a look round...its a big town for up there so if your in a self catering cottage or caravan you could kill 2 birds with one stone and get some shopping in at the supermarket... -

TOMO replied to Bush Rummager's topic in General Talk
depends on how far you want to drive each day.....a nice drive from where you are the first week would be up through Torridon ...kinlockewe ...up the side of loch maree to Gairloch ....then at poolewe you could drive up lochewe to firemoore sands beach which is stunning and if you have kids they will love that beach as will you....if the tide is out there is a natural pool about 2 feet deep that quite large but great for the kids to play in ...also at poolewe if your in laws or yourself are in to gardening there is Inverewe gardens to have look round ...its national trust so if your a member i -
something that did surprise me in the one we went to was there was some graves of chineese soldiers and there dates of death were after the war had finished 1919 etc .... they went there clearing mines and unexploded shells ....and paid the ultimate price ...something i never new about

i have been to a ww1 cemetery in north east france up in the Somme area....went in 2014 ..the centenary year of the start of ww1..... just a little cemetery ....in the middle of the fields ...to be honest there are loads of them up in that area....its very humbling walking round seeing these young lads reading there names and seeing there age etc....then you look around and its a beautiful summers day ...in beautiful countryside and its hard to imagine the fear these guys must have gone through....

whilst we are on the subject of war films.....think this little masterpiece deserves a mention... i rember going to the cinema to see it.....and before hand not knowing anything about the film....then a few mins in you see these scenes and the thing with cinema is ..its bloody loud.....by christ was a gripped to the seat ....for us lads that have never been in the army or in battle ...its kind of the closest thing we could come to it....and to see the shear destruction ..fear..inhumanity..bravery ...and every other emotion....was just mind blowing...
