A recent week away to the West Coast in a Camper Van I spotted this T7 parked up at Eilean Donan Castle;

Highlander That t7 looks so good in that colour

GP in the sky with rough diamonds ?

Dunno what this is all about, these Moto GP displays on the PO tower this afternoon. Makes a change from the "stay safe " message normally up there every day (iPhone pic's)

Greetings,

Amazing how fast the fog and mist cleared this morning. Looking towards Disley.

Across the valley is the old Buxton road from Disley where a murder took place in the late 18C and there is a small monument stone at the side of the road.

Interesting. Are you looking from the Chinley area?
On a Friday my round takes me from Whaley Bridge to Disley on Buxton Old Road and then i turn down Wards Lane and then go to Corks Lane and then Ring O Bells Lane before heading down Hagg Bank Lane and then down into Strines and then back up through a farmyard on Redmoor Lane toward the Buxton Old Road again.
Wherabouts is this small monument?

The location is noted in this account.
A sad, pitiful story that ended with a nineteen year old lad at the gallows.

Good read, thanks.
I'll have a look for the memorial stone on Friday.

Greetings,

I had occasion to pass the stone today so here is a photo of it. Now home as far as I can tell it is positioned around;

We hired this brilliant Camper Van (Fiat Ducato) out last week for a week for my 60th birthday, a surprise from my wife. We drove 800 miles in/around the beautiful West Coast of Scotland, off grid stuff, utterly fabulous times in this Van which was called; Hamish.

I'd say within the next few years we'll try have a Camper Van as we aim for retirement etc, such a laid back way to travel/off grid material - fabulous!!
