The Director's Tour, November 2008

 

Classique board of directors, 1982-2008

 

 

Day 1 - The Director's Tour departs Glasgow in brilliant sunshine .... off north up the A80 and A9, but the final destination still a mystery!

 

Near Dalwhinnie

 

Ted's destination remained a secret until evening when the coach arrived at Dundonnell on Little Loch Broom

 

The very welcoming Dundonnell Hotel

 

Day 2 - the beauty of Wester Ross ... a little misty ... or was that just a tear in the eye?

 

Loch Maree

 

Wester Ross

 

...No rest for the weary at the end of the day...

 

 

Day 3 - Sutherland basking in the November sunshine...

 

Ullapool

 

...but somebody had to disregard everything he's ever drummed into legions of tourists, and go slip-sliding away...

 

The slippery shoes on wet grass ... the concern ... the pain of the sprain

 

...luckily, though, everyone else had a lovely day...

 

 

 

That evening, a fare-thee well to Classique Tours

 

It tasted good, too ... thanks, Gisela

 

Day 4 - the final day and the end of an era.

 

Please look at the camera!

 

Was this one of Telford's?

 

A lunch break at Glengarry...

 

 

?

 

... Then down the Great Glen ...

 

 

 

 

 

...Then stuck in Glasgow peak-hour traffic
         ... but a great opportunity to hear some of Ted's favourite songs
                    ... one last time...
