Excellent diary and piccies,thanks for that.
Pics 25+26 are the Moray Firth,the next 4 are the Cromarty Firth :wink: On your first shot of the Dornoch Firth,the buildings you can see in the distance above your meerkats(?) head is one of our daily collection points,to pick up mussels.

I must have been just a couple of hours in front of you on the Thursday.Got held at the Newtonmore snowgates for a wee while,then the police came along taking trucks out of the queue and allowing them down the A9.That made for a lot of pee’d off car and van drivers :grimacing: Never known them do that before. Heard a bit later on the radio that the road was closed overnight and well into Friday.Had to go back from Glasgow to Inverness via Aberdeen :unamused:

Excellent diary and pics, enjoyed that but WTF is a mearcat doing standing on top of a forklift at the side of the road in scotland :question:

it took me an embarrassingly :blush: :blush: :blush: long amount of time to realize that its probably on your dash :blush: :blush: :blush: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: waht time specsavers close today

37

think those bendy arms that hold the camera’s are a great idea :smiley:

in 20 years, i hv managed most of europe, but no further north than glasgow. would like to get up there on a trip like that, and have a nose around.
even looked into doing a driving holiday up there in my old m5, but when i worked out the fuel costs, etc, from essex, it was just plain bonkers. could be 1 for the future, fly up, and hire a half decent car for a road trip :sunglasses:

38

Interesting post :slight_smile: Well done.

It in a way reminded me of the longest drive I did in the UK. When I worked on the motor show / promotional transport I did a weekend show in Inverness, dismantled the xhibition on monday with help from and agency slave and drove from Inverness to Stithians in Cornwall for the next show. I left tuesday morning and arrived on site friday night … We always took our time running between shows so we could stop for the night at good hotels and pubs :laughing: Buit the display etc on saturday, no work was allowed on site during sundays, show on monday, then strip down tuesday and head home to Oxford.
