DS has one too they had to do it at school

probably one of the few high schools in the UK doing 'navigation' for a course at school like PE

Ponders boat options.............:D

I'm seriously going to look at the quote and also RM or Parcel force I don't mind moving myself in bits

Ah DH used to do it for a living. I did sailing as part of my degree but not the open water bit. How cool to be able to do it in PE though!!

Me too mooomin!

Wasn't it dreadful being dragged around the hall by a boy who didnt want to look at you never mind hold your hand - or was that just MY experience??



New idea - lash stuff together with bailer twine. Launch in general direction of 'sooth' - with self and mutts on top steering as best we can



We'll end up 'somewhere'

How about we round up all the dingys we can find. Tie them with ropes. Set the one off "sooth" and keep adding dingys til we have a bridge all the way to the mainland. Then one person on each dingy passing your stuff to the next like a giant pass the parcel game??

Sounds doable

Pippilongstocking

Sounds perfect. I think though we should wait for a calm day its not far to the mainland so a wee bridge of dinghy's would do

Great idea.

I'm squealling with delight here, not only does the local 'castle by the wee hoose have the Scottish RHUBARB collection (its true) - there's a cheese factory/shop/cafe just beside the new house (well near).

*BLISS*

Man - Third time lucky posting this.......

Done some cleaning but not enough - ie half the house has still got me to write my initials in before Mr and Mrs Mc-EH arrive

Did some food shopping mainly topping up dug fud etc and toiletries.

After vouchers came to 36p



Man giggled as he gave me a voucher for £5 off a £40 shop (never use that I don't think) and a cash voucher for £1.51 off next shop.

Gotta love mse.

OK I did use some vouchers but right now my cash is more precious to me.

Thurso High does navigation as well, or used to - Mr Minx says it was one of his favourite classes

According to the gossip in the post office (one of the SSE chaps working on Strathy wind farm was in), someone hit the wrong switch (literally!) at Beauly last night and it's going to cost the company a fortune because they get fined per minute for every minute the power's off over half an hour!

Mr & Mrs EH should be most of the way across the Firth now

I hated country dancing with a passion.
