Another Scottish Highlands drive with a milestone!

Well after a s**tty trip to York for more reasons than I care to mention me and my wife decided "Sod it, lets go back to Inverness" and for the first time we had the time, the weather and the foresight to fill up with petrol and go to Applecross!

So enough s**te chat, heres some pics and 2 wee vids

(First one is just to dick on these fold with the wee England flags ;))

After the above pic at Applecross, and a cracking lunch we decided to go back round the coast road and the following are taken from there.

A fairly constant hazard

And a very short vid followed by a short one just as a wee taste of what its like. However, the way I drove when the camera was on is very different to how you have to drive most of it or you would come a cropper. And only giving it bursts when well sighted is enough tbh, doesnt happen all that often!

Yeah you should! Loads of other great roads too, huge variety in what kind they are as well.

Looks like a good run out.

Twas mate

Looks good John!

Cheers Danny

Look cracking..

Almost as good as Daves ;-)

Shut it ;)

We need to get up there!

It would be carnage if it was an open invite thing imo.

exactly what i was thinking, may have to try and do this road to compare...
i lol'd at the sign also, only in britain would you need a warning like that

Its a lot shorter mate thats for sure! about 12 miles all in and you only climb for 5 of them. On the way there obviously ;)

Awesome pics sweet cheeks. Loved our layby encounter too :evil:

Me too honey bunny x

ahem......"a hundred fouwzand miiiiiiiiles"


Like a whole different world up there :)

The temptation to do a piss take vid was huge!
