Farewell

Farewell to Corin, DanielEarnest,Cato,Edward ,Beatrice, Blanche, Farquhar, Farron, Ferdie,Fee and Fum . 
 
After the night in a small area of the field, at 5am they were loaded into the   trailer.  
Sheep can be a bit difficult  and they spend a large part of their life trying to escape from wherever they are , so we had to give ourselves plenty of time .  But some pre-emptive setup with sheep hurdles and they all were in the trailer by 515am 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

And by 520am we were ready to go . 

 

Next stop - St Margarets Hope, for the ferry terminal 

At least i didnt have to reverse it all on to the ferry,  unlike last time






And a couple of hours later we were at Dingwall 


And shortly after that , sheep in lairage .


 
 
And when towing  500Kg of sheep down the A9  , I get 24 miles to the gallon.
