Well its been a week since I was there so I think its about time I posted something about it.

Anyway, I managed to get a pair of tickets for the Radio One's Big Weekend for the Saturday.
We set off at 7.30am for the 4 hour trip to Dundee.

Here's a pointless picture of the Forth Bridge to show we crossed it

So we got there about 12 and dumped our stuff at a very nice B&B - Invermark

After an ill fated bus journey around Dundee (the driver lied about the bus route), we ended up getting a taxi from the local hospital (it was one of the stops, not that we ended up in hospital) to Camperdown Park

We got the beers in

... and settled in to watch all the acts.

Muse, Snow Patrol, Boy Kill Boy, Razorlight and Dirty Pretty things were all very good. Everyone else play good sets (even Gnarls Barkley).

So the gig ended and we went for more beer around Broughty Ferry - The Post Office and Jolly's

We think we had a good night....

The next morning we were up bright and early and headed down to the beach where we took these lovely photos

Then we set off home

On the way back we did call via Duns to see the castle as it's the venue for Dave's planned nuptials. Its very nice as you can see.
