Enjoy the dark and that cool glasswear (the scopes) @elliot Thanks.It's not bad but I'd rather be where you are... My Grandmother lived in Strabane near Derry and I've spent many happy times exploring up there. And @Racey and I had a cracking road trip with the golf clubs down the West Coast to Cork taking in Lahinch, Doonbeg, Ballybunion, Tralee, Old Head, Fota Island and Cork Golf Courses... I'd swap in a heartbeat with you to be able to do that regularly ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesM Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Hi and welcome to the forum. I always find that a glass of wine comes in handy when trying to counter balance the scope - glad to see you are exploring the same solution! Clear skies and hope you enjoy your stay.
