Hi Richard, Colin and B.D.,

Thanks for all the positive comments.  Has no-one anything negative to say?
:-)

It's a fabulous area of the country, and we were lucky with the weather.  It
has a reputation for being very wet almost any time of the year, and getting
good landscape vistas under those circumstances is much more difficult.  I'm
glad I had it easy!

Simon.
