    First evening in Ardersier - November 2023

    Well, keeping in mind that this is an international forum, it is useful to put at least the country, the same as when one puts the name of a place at Turkey, or Spain, or India... It helps to all the group and doesn't harm anyone to do so (if occasionally one forgets to do so is not a big deal)
