As you'll all know, from my previous posts, on friday 17th I started my one-trip Nature Rally – I'm not going to post the write-up here yet as I haven't finished writing it and it's already over 8,000 words. When it's done I intend to bundle it up with images and captions and post it as a .pdf for people to download and read at their leisure.
In the meantime, and to assure all those generous folks kind enough to support me that I did indeed complete the trip, I'm going to post the pics from the 20 checkpoints. These will be posted in correct Rally Number order rather than the order in which a visited them.
1. Cairngorms National Park
2. Queen Elizabeth Forest Park
3. Argyll National Forest
4. Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park
5. Galloway National Forest
6. Northumberland National Park

Thanks Mark
Don't worry guys, the report is on the way – well it will be in a day or so. Plenty of photos too (the main reason why I thought a .pdf might be better)
