I went to visit my daughter for a couple of days. She stays about 15 miles north of Fort William on the banks of the Caledonian Canal. Sadly the west coast has missed most of the snow but never the less the scenery was pretty spectacular driving north from Glasgow along the banks of Loch Lomond and through Glen Coe. Temperatures managed to go as low as -11 last night although I believe it has to get colder as the week goes on.

Out onto the Rannoch Moor where the snow was a bit disappointing but the scenery spectacular

Went a walk yesterday along the canal
The dog doesn't pose for photos, if I point the camera he looks away so I was pleased to get this shot
Typical Akita ignoring his owner
Heading back today and the sun was out
When I arrived home there was more snow here than there was up the west coast
Some great pictures there John. It is good to know that the more recent LR products can still do their stuff - looks like a really nice RR you have got. Have to say that I am glad that I finished replacing the rear crossmember on my LR 90 CSW last month - I missed having an LR on the road last winter!
Look forward to some more snow pictures when you dare to venture out again!

Now that the snow has gone for a brief period it was time to clean the Range Rover.....
Yesterday I decided to make a start on getting the Range Rover cleaned up and after a wash it went inside to be dried. The bottom half of the car was covered in grot from the salt that has been spread on the roads so I set about removing it then made a start on removing the swirls from the roof (never been polished before by the look of things....I also gave the underside around the wheel arches a good clean to remove the salt.
The roof was cut by machine with Farecla G3, then my favourite A Grade Polish before giving it and the rest of the paintwork 2 coats of Jetseal109
In typical fashion I had to go out today and used the Range Rover so that meant giving it a quick wash on my return and the opportunity of a few outdoor pictures
BTW - Some of your pix are truly wonderful. This one - especially the leeward cloud formations...
Of course being there at the right time is everything ... as well as remembering the camera [and charged battery!].
