Anybody else from Sutherland?

[Big Sandy]

Well, as the title says really!

Any other forum members from Sutherland? :D 'Tis lonely up here you know!

[Madoobri]

No ... but I was up your way 2 weeks ago camping, where abouts are you Sandy?

[OrbitalPear]

Im form near Sunderland, which is close. At least spelling wise.

[Big Sandy]

:LAA: Orbital Pear!

Madoobri, I'm betwixt Helmsdale and Golspie.... I saw you had been away, and thought; darn it, should have shouted at you before you went camping! I see you had a good time though....

[Madoobri]

I'm betwixt Helmsdale and Golspie
Sh*t ... I stopped in Helmsdale for an hour or so too ... ah well next time i`m up that way will let you know before I go! :)

[Big Sandy]

Definately, give us a yell! I bet you dined in La Mirage..... nice seafood or what? Langoustines.... :)

There are a couple of nice runs around Helmsdale...on tarmac right enough, but the kind of Tarmac with grass in the middle...The road through Loth is a cracker (and a suspension tester if you have leafs!) And, if you like fording, theres a good one in Brora.... I dont use it, as I reckon they would think there had been an Exxon Valdez type disaster from downstream....

Actually, at home, you aren't all that far from Andy MacBog....

[Madoobri]

Pic taken from http://www.northernsights.net/nigg-fs.html the photos are a bit dated though :rolleyes:

Did you see Nancy Sinclair? She's a double for Barbara Cartload (sorry...Cartland :D )....The restaurant is full of pics of her at functions and meeting famous folk, like.

I was talking to the stalker at Badenloch, and he was telling me that when Barbara was alive she always used to send Lord Leverhulme (also dead and gone) a christmas card with a photo of herself on the front every year. Seemingly Lord L invites Bryan the stalker in one christmas, and in the hallway there is a double staircase with a fireplace in the middle...big roaring fire. All round the fireplace there are all the cards that BC has sent LL for the past gawd knows how many years. LL says to Bryan, " What do you think of all the cards??" Bryan, "Very nice your lordship" LL, "Yes, they keep the kiddies away from the fire....." :D

There was a restaurant, The Bunnilidh, across the road, but the lady that owned it has moved on now...(long story...) I think it might have been bought and taken over, but it was shut last time I looked. It always had a model of an alien 'grey' in the window, for some reason!

Have a look at www.broraweb.freeserve.co.uk/ as well Thats a bitty nearer home to me.

Sutherland, well that is a long way north even from here :eek: Only been there the once, met this nice guy, big fella, mad about the Landies he is ... :D :rolleyes:

[Big Sandy]

LOL! Sometimes I think just 'mad' might be a better description...
:banging: :rolleyes:

[Madoobri]

Found a picture of her Sandy :yikes:

You'll be printing that off and putting a few round the fireplace then? :D

[Madoobri]

:LAA:

Was thinking of using it at the next full moon, to keep the vampires at bay :p

[Big Sandy]

LOL!

I like your tee shirt by the way..... :D

So, it seems there are no other members in Sutherland then :( I'll have to see what I can do about that!

[Madoobri]

It`s not my T shirt Sandy ... I "aquired" the photo from somewhere ;)
What you going to do about getting more members in Sutherland ... kidnap a few on your travels? :p

[Big Sandy]

LOL! It's all in hand.... I am going to do a leaflet drop.....Well, stick the forum address under a few windscreen wipers! It's time there were a few more Landies from round here getting noticed.

Sadly there arent many Series motors around here..mostly Defenders and Discos, but a Landy is a Landy, reagrdless of how old or new it is! We all belong to the brotherhood.... :)
