点评:There are not enough superlatives in my vocabulary to describe our six day tour with Robert, viewing almost 50 different locations with stunning scenery, castles, stately homes, gardens, harbours, waterfalls, ruins, lochs, to mention just a handful. From initial contact with Sally-Ann on e-mail to the final good bye to Robert at the end of the tour everything went smoothly.
Two oldies, one a bit doddery, and our daughter had a tour specifically designed for us by Sally-Ann and Robert. A few hick ups along the way caused by a Force 11 storm passing through were not enough to derail the tour and alternate accommodation was sorted out by Sally-Ann within hours of being advised that our hotel had to cancel our booking at they had no electricity. We even managed to have a drink with Sally-Ann at John O'Groats.
Robert is very friendly, a Historian, a Geographer, a Geologist, very knowledgeable and a great raconteur.  He took us off the beaten track to locations obviously not visited by many people travelling the North 500 by themselves. The Range Rover is comfy and well equipped for the journey with wet weather gear and other items. At the 4000 year old Grey Cairns of Camster, Robert even supplied knee pads so the two ladies could crawl through the narrow entranceway to enter the burial chamber whilst I stood guard outside with my walking sticks to fend off marauding sheep!
It was not all one way however, we did enlighten Robert on where he could find sympathy.  If you do the tour; we travelled 11,000 kilometres to do so; and I highly recommend that you do, you can ask him the answer.
Many many thanks to you both from Lily Mae, Mary Ann and Alan.
翻译:我无法用任何溢美之词来形容我们与罗伯特一起进行的为期六天的旅行,我们游览了近50个风景秀丽的地点,城堡、庄园、花园、港口、瀑布、遗址、湖泊等等,不胜枚举。从最初通过电子邮件联系莎莉安,到旅行结束时与罗伯特告别,一切都进行得很顺利。
我们两个老人,其中一个有点老态龙钟,还有我们的女儿,参加了莎莉安和罗伯特专门为我们设计的旅行。途中遭遇了11级风暴带来的一些小波折,但这并没有影响我们的旅行。在得知酒店因停电而不得不取消预订后,莎莉安在几个小时内就帮我们找到了替代住宿。我们甚至还和莎莉安在约翰奥格罗茨餐厅喝了一杯。
罗伯特非常友好,是一位历史学家、地理学家、地质学家,知识渊博,非常健谈。他带我们走出人迹罕至的地方,去往许多独自穿越北部500英里(约500公里)的人显然很少会去的地方。路虎揽胜舒适,配备了雨具和其他物品,为旅途做好了充分准备。在拥有4000年历史的卡姆斯特灰色石碑旁,罗伯特甚至提供了护膝,以便两位女士能够爬过狭窄的入口进入墓室,而我则拄着拐杖在外面守卫,抵御羊群的侵扰!
然而,我们并非总是单向的,我们确实向罗伯特介绍了他在哪里可以找到同情。如果您也参加这次旅行——我们为此旅行了11000公里——我强烈建议您参加,您可以向他询问答案。
非常感谢莉莉·梅、玛丽·安和艾伦。
