Nice. I was up in Ben Nevis, but popped to Eilean Donan Castle, Lossiemouth and down to Edinburgh. Enjoy!
I found a good wave:non-wave ratio up there.

You too. I think there are a few of us up this way.. @Bigsidavies is….
The baboon-arsed mamils gather to conspire…!I've settled down in a comfy chair. Thanks for lighting the fuse. I shall wait for the fireworks to go off..........
I love my bike but the whole dressing up like Team Ineos lark is odd if you are more than 9st. Having a good dump has more effect on performance than 400g of Lycra.
Even though I'm a (non lycra wearing) cyclist, I agree. I often encounter them on the narrow lanes around here, deep in shouty conversation, completely oblivious to other road users - including other cyclists meeting them head on on blind corners!I often find myself waving at cyclists.
It’s usually when I go round a blind bend on a national speed limit road and nearly go up the backside of them, 3 abreast, all dressed up as Power Rangers.
Some chubby lycra dingbat nearly head-onned himself into my van the other week, came round a corner and he was looking at his phone and had drifted right across onto the wrong side of the road, luckily I saw him long before he saw us and we managed to come to almost a complete stop to give him time to swerve back over. You could tell when he looked up he was ready to go into his reflexive rage state until he realised what he'd just done. Still didn't wave to say sorry though because of course he wouldn't.
When I was in the cops before I retired I used to be driving along and flash the lights and wave at a passing cop car and my partner would be “mate we’re in a plain X5I tend to wave at almost anything that moves now after driving and MX5 for almost 10 years (we wave to each other too), driving my T6 for almost a year and being a cyclist for many years (we usually acknowledge each other on country roads). I also drive a BMW Touring and wave randomly while driving that when I forget what I'm driving.
Must confuse the hell out of other T6 and MX5 drivers at times. I know it confuses me
Id be like ‘oh yeah I forgot’
When I served in the filth, we played a game of getting a wave from the waterfairies (fire service) by raising an open palm upwards slowly, getting the wave from them, then pulling the sunshade down....really annoyed them apparantly and a small victory for us...
Note to self: I must make sure the door is closed BEFORE practising my “gangsta lean”!
That cracked me up! Cops always rip it out of the splash brigade!
You were awake?
Or waving at ambulances that turn out to be Ocado/Asda/Morrison’s delivery vans and then feeling a bit of a knob.

Careful, the DVLA might be reading this...
Sleep was just my state of readiness for the next big job.You were awake?
I have just driven down from Cheshire through Lincolnshire and into Norfolk. From Lincs onwards there were many T6 campers. The vast majority waved, from a casual finger or 2 off the wheel to full blown waves and headlight flashers. What a friendly bunch. All were instigated by them. By the time I arrived at the site I felt like one of those toy Chinese cats that constantly wave!
Ha ha ha! Great use case
Brilliant !!!!
