Our Holiday.

As some of you might remember that we were having a holiday

so before we were due off, i had to re-address the roof box colour scheme, so this is before

Then the prepping work began, first rubbing down the black to take the primer and then the same again and then the final gloss black coat, sorry no pic of that done

Click image to enlarge

Then after that had hardened off for about 2 weeks i turned the roof box over and got some primer coats on

Click image to enlarge

Then i painted a coat of blue on

Click image to enlarge

I then flattened that to take the final top rattle can coat

Click image to enlarge

So after another 2-3 weeks to harden up i went up to my store and put it on Millie for our adventure

Then once home, she became a bit naked on the back

So on Saturday we drove up to J41 on the M6 to stop off at a B & B for the night and then drive up to St Fillans via the A82 to our cottage for the week

Stopped for a bit off lunch on the way

So we had a great time here for the week with mixed weather which was good, as we did not have one day of solid rain

I took loads of pics while here but just a few of Loch Earn where we walked to every day, just awesome

I found a decent car park in Edinburgh with good height and found it on a site called Parkopedia, really good site to find all the stats on car parks
