Planning an expedition

With a massively busy week ahead for the whole family, I am looking forward to Friday already!
I have four days at work which will involve trying to drag students through assessments and practicals that, in many cases, should have been completed months ago. No.1 pride and joy has his last 2 exams, No.2 pride and joy has another football final on Tuesday and the BF is in Geneva until Thursday night.

SO all the more reason to look forward to our planned expedition next weekend.
First thing on Friday morning we will set off for the 5 hour drive to Oldshoremore (about as far North and West as you can drive and not fall off the edge of Scotland), followed by 5-6 miles walking carrying tent, sleeping bags, cooking kit and all other essentials to reach Sandwood Bay - completely inaccessible any other way.

But it's worth it......photos will come later ;-)

But in order to enjoy this trip, it must be precision planned....

and it's at times like these I appreciate BF's OCD.....

P.S. Oh dear, my brain really is mince. I have just been informed (by text) that it's actually Paris this week, Geneva next week :-/

Definitely the most difficult yet.

Quite well know, but probably not often seen from this angle?

I could give you a clue if you're stuck?

Since you got it so easily...here it is from a different perspective:

A very easy one!

One of the most recognisable places in Scotland.........?

Tempus fugit.....

Sed fugit interea fugit irreparabile tempus singula dum capti circumvectamur amore..........

A little more difficult (though still quite easy!)

Ok here's a harder one.........

......................................................................maybe?

An easy one to start with....

I thought I would steal someone else's idea and just post some nice piccies and see if anyone could guess where they were taken....

.....so, an easy one first:

Any ideas?

Exam fever

It's full on exam time in my house.
I have several classes of frantic students fretting and stressing over various levels of assessment.
No. 1 pride and joy is in the throes of Intermediate 2 exams in 7 subjects and Standard grade in 1, and pride and joy no. 2 will start his (admittedly not as significant) S1 exams next week.
The thing that strikes me most is the contrasting approaches. My students are, on the whole, stressed and panicy (?), many having left it far too late to make an impact on the volume of work accumulated throughout the year. No 1 son is confident and chilled though obviously comprehending the importance of the situation and , with a bit of encouragement, seems to be working surprisingly hard, whereas no. 2 son is resistant to all attempts to encourage him to study believing (with the innocence of the young) that he knows it all already!
The proof, I believe, will be in the pudding!
