James,

All you need worry about is being able to drink the Whisky :D

Pat is an ex rally navigator and I am an ex rally driver between us we'll make sure you get to the next distillery. you never know the Whisky might get rid of Pat's double vision :twisted:

I've got the web adress of the car hire and with Pats hotel link I think I'm gonna see how much such a jaunt would be.

Could we turn it into a fund raising event?

Ah - minor problem I forgot to mention - I absolutely HATE whisky! :oops:

Now, real pukka polish vodka, or a nice bottle of quality Rioja Grand Riserva might do the trick!
:D

i think if we got enough interest we could even get the press involved in it and get some serious publicity for the forum and k.c

it would be something we could look at and see what the committee reckon.

i have loads of time on my hands as i am unable to work so im itching for a challenge.

hope thats me and not my insane mood changes. lol
anyways all you KC people get out there and try things you are scared to do it will amaze you the impact it has on your self esteem and confidence.

Now you have an incentive to continue your road to recovery :twisted:

Wonder what a distillery would think if a load of half blind tourists drove in for a tour that either could not or just hate Whisky asked for a tour of the facilities :lol:

Pat is right.

Ardeonaig is a hotel and restaurant on Loch Tay. I think that theya re rather well known for their breakfasts. The full Scottish includes Potato Scone, a delight unknown in other prts of the UK, apart from Northrn Ireland.
