Specs Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 One drunken night Fred let slip that he hadn't been to Scotland. Another drunken night someone told me about a September rally on Skye. A plan was hatched. The weather forecast was shite so abandoning our original plan to go north via Lake District, we decided to head north as quickly as we could in order to beat long days in the rain, and as it transpired, have shorter ones instead. It meant motorways to our B & B somewhere between Glasgow and Edinburgh - I forget where! I left Cardiff and met Fred up the road. Stopped for food and fuel on the motorway but almost fainted at the prices, something like £3.50 for a cupcake. Sandwiches were cheaper! Found the B & B and the landlord gave us a lift to the pub, as you do. Nice pint! Getting ready for the next day. Not much motorway thankfully, but speed checks everywhere. Stopped north of Pitlochry for a couple of snaps. That might be Ben Alder in the distance. Not far from it if it isn't. I can believe that I didn't take any more photos before we were well north of Inverness, where we stopped for a brew and a sandwich. Then it was a dash up to John O Groats before the bad weather was due to arrive. Then it was off to the pub, where we were stuck for the following day due to the wind and rain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckster Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Wind and rain? I think not, the sun always shines in Scotland, It's like 30c or something right now in fact. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
