Thanks Scrap and Leftylee,

I'll make sure I see the lakes! What is your friend studying Lefty?

I've heard great things about the Lochs in Scottland and I've got three days off in the highlands, then the weekend free before i have my lab visit in Dundee so hopefully i can see a lot of it in that time.

I'll be in Nottingham for about a week so I will definitely drop by Scrap - thanks for the invite!
