Another memory brought back by Danny, I recall going to Scotland a few years ago and a visit to a little island called Easdale, south of Oban, to see a friend that was working there for the summer. Lovely place but so small you can walked round the shore line in 20 minutes.
As they had no rooms I had gone to the internet "Hotels within 20 miles" it said and one was to the south of Oban. Good I thought, it will be near where Vicky is, I thought.
So visit over, jump in car, switch on satnav. Shortest distance 85 miles said satnav. No can't be right I thought. But it was, needed to drive around a couple of Loch's.
That said it was a lovely 2 1/2 hour drive through some of the best scenery I had seen for ages. Well worth my flight plan error.
