First time up Conic Hill. Not a big hill (350m ascent) and not a long walk (2.6 miles). But it's a relentless climb.
Stunning views over the islands in Loch Lomond. Sandwiches beside Tom Weir's statue. Then a wee half of Loch Lomond 80 shilling in the sun at the Oak Tree Inn.

This is a class way to let a legend bow out. Would bring a tear to a glass eye. Leads by example through quality, effort and humility for club and country.
Hi @RAC_Care... my wife is reaching the end of her patience as we're being bumped from your roadside assist teams to a local recovery team but you're consistently not passing on full job info so we go round in circles wasting everyone's time.
2 RAC guys and 2 recovery trucks and car still stuck on driveway since Saturday night. You've cancelled a recovery, reinstated a recovery, sent people out, but crucially not told the various teams they need a flat bed AND an easytrack to move the car across gravel.
@RAC_Care Car finally collected around lunchtime today. First contact was Sunday. Jeezo. Need someone to join your IT/Change team and sort systems and processes out? I know a guy...
Thanks for the quick reply but, sadly, no, I can't send DMs as the feature seems to be broken in the Android version of X and @elonmusk hasn't had it fixed yet.
Apparently there's another attempt happening this evening. Not holding my breath and very glad my wife's car isn't broken down in the middle of nowhere with this shambolic response.
Every technician has been lovely. But they're only a good as the instructions they get (none).
Hi @Specsavers. I asked your central support team via chat to remove my details from marketing lists but they told me I need to visit my local branch to do that. I could be wrong, but I think this might be a breach of my right to object under UK GDPR?
27yo Monymusk rum from TB @DornochDist paired with my home made bread and butter pudding made with 4yo stale AF panettone. Amazing combo. Stunning rum.
Sco v Den
1-0 as we start the 2nd half.
...would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that for one chance, just one chance to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our half time pies, but they will never take our automatic qualification!
Stunning presentation of a sample of the next Ryelaw release coming (very) soon from @InchDairnieDist. Look forward to tasting it tonight.
How have I managed to miss Knockhill Distillery until a Facebook promoted post today?

Made it to @DingleWhiskey. Slightly early for the tour but gives me time to post a photae...
@Graham__Coull @TholstrupJens Wish you were here!
My first Dublin Guinnesses since my last Dublin Guinnesses, 25 years ago in the same pubs. Mulligan's, Poolbeg St and Nancy Hands, Parkgate. @Mulligans6 was 15 seconds from the flat RBS rented for me while we "worked hard" on Natwest/Ulster Bank stuff in the office at Parkgate.
Hi @Graham__Coull Looks like we might be in Dingle on 6 or 7 July. Once plans clearer, I'll book a @DingleWhiskey tour while Clare and Robert go to @dingleaquarium. Any other tips for Dingle and points north? (I've 86'd Skelllig Michael for this trip as too ambitious/pricey...)
