Hi! Long time no post. What a trip it’s been so far… Exhausting, moving, inspiring, hilarious, disgusting. To be honest, I’ve been experiencing the full spectrum of emotions.
To start with we strenuously checked out the fine lounges of Auckland and Hong Kong airports. From there it felt like we spent a day and night lost in a Heathrow vortex, as flights were cancelled due to snow. Eventually we made it to the (reputedly haunted) Drover’s Inn, Loch Lomond for a creepy-awesome Friday the 13th!
The Loch was gorgeous. If you ever do get a chance to explore a more rural part of Scotland it’s definitely worth the hike. I imagine the further north you go, the better it is.
It was pretty chilly out there! I had a lot of fun throwing rocks onto frozen sections of the river and listening to the amazingly alien noises that were produced.
If you’re in need of more Code For Something randomness – here’s a short piece I wrote on spoon collecting - my mission for the trip. Apologies to the rest of the Alt Albion crew, I’m getting way too geeky/passionate about it. Or take a peep at my UK flickr set.
More on Edinburgh and Glasgow soon! Miss you!

It looks amazing so far. As do your boots!
I cannot wait to traipse around the loch-y areas of Scotland and Ireland. After 5 days in Dublin C & I decided that our next trip there has to be with a hired car and the heathy hills.
I’m sorry for your delays! Glad that you made it there safely, though :)
I really want to go to Scotland at some point. Can’t wait to read more about your trip!
Wow! That inn is AMAZING! Only place I’ve ever seen something like that is in flim. Cool!
And (i’m sorry, but) O.M.G. How awesome is throwing rocks onto frozen ponds. pewpewpewpeowpeowpewpewpew!!!
Spoons?! You geek! That is just darn fabulous! Geeks rule.
