I guess in a similar way that it will eventually be rolled out to all vehicles on the road?

We had 3 tests done on NC all by different surveyors. (Boston Marina, Geordies at Langrick and Ian Lumley at BW) Never had a problem with them. We were never present for any of the tests, but we were always within the locality for if a trivial item needed attending too that could be done there and then.

The other half's mother lives in Scotland on the coast road from Barhead to Irvine. It's a little cottage in a tiny hamlet with no mains gas. Their only source of heating is a solid fuel stove. The house is always cold. It really isn't our idea of fun which is why we take the van up when we go to visit. We can be warm and dry while they prat around lighting a fire. It's like going back to the dark ages!! The bit I have highlighted in red, I fully agree with. The rest of it, well not so sure about that!

Prepare to be shot down in flames for even daring to suggest that this is a natural cycle of the earth warming and cooling

Inverness and Loch Ness - advice please

The trick to avoiding the midges is to go to Scotland whenever we are there. It is always persisting it down when we go so no midges to be seen. Not had a problem with them yet. Mind you that has probably jinxed next years summer holiday around Dumfries and Galloway -
Sounds ideal. No frost, no snow and long hot summers.

They don't fly in the rain either so just pray for persistent rain, which isn't difficult to find in Scotland The NC500 is a very pretty drive. We loved it but again I don't think a whistle stop tour would do it justice. We did it over 16 days, one way, a few years ago and it was nowhere near enough time to stop and see everything that we wanted to see. -
Cloudy diesel and longevity of diesel
Naughty Cal replied to n-baj's topic in Boat Building & Maintenance
We always found that using fuel rather than storing it was the best way to keep it clean! -

I think Caley do a 3 day hire as well. Their boats looked better maintained if not more expensive. We had a very leisurely 10 day one way cruise. Still found plenty to do. That said we could explore places not available to hire boats like anchoring at Dores and the Quay at the Falls of Foye. A 2/3 day cruise would be very whistle stop and IMO wouldn't really do the area justice. -

I can't remember seeing any day hire boats when we were on the Caledonian.
