C7BLE does Bono.

So to speak.



A bit of a shock turning off a fast A-road onto this





Tally ho



Aawwww (where's the mint sauce?)



Some ruin or other






Hotel in Tongue


...beneath Ben Loyal



Sunset



Muir burn that got away. It was somewhat apocalyptic

As ever, some quality photos - especially from BadgerBoy. The one of the fire in the distance is very good

Day 2

http://www.flickr.com/photos/flyingbadger/...57600081977710/

Highlights :

Nearly fell off the road honking onto the brakes to take this one before everyone disappeared around the corner



Mmm...road...



EPS Failure? Surely not



Wheeeee



At this point, C7BLE did something he was going to regret...he gave his keys to Colin (who'd left his car at the hotel that day)



Lunch at Kylesku



Twisty



Noo...give me the keys back...



Hell of a view



Oh dear...



It's not a proper WBT if this doesn't happen at least once



Heading back toward Tongue



Get orrff moi laaaand



Days 3 & 4 to follow.

Anyone got a list of the route? I'm particularly interested in the road with the grass down the middle



I will join you guys on a WBT at some point. I must.

Day 3

http://www.flickr.com/photos/flyingbadger/...57600082239084/

Highlights :

45.16 litres + 5 litre can 15 minutes previously = Graham had to get a lift



Coffee stop in Ullapool



Zoom zoom zoom







Lunch in Gairloch - they laid on a special chair just for Colin



Such a charming young lady the rest of the time



Dribble...



Charlotte "Ooo, let me take a photo of the baby!"

C7BLE "Have you seen the horns on the one 2 feet from my car??? Move!"



Afternoon stop in Applecross



Bumped into a small Smart convoy



Bealach beckons



Only got one photo this time - I got a bit of vertigo so didn't let go of the steering wheel.



...or the brakes



Hotel for the last night - Kintail Lodge.



Sunset on Loch Duich



Andy asked me to make him look beautiful. I left that lens at home.



Day 4 later...

What's the deal with the Aston? Someone you all met, or C7BLE splashing out?

In fact, is it that bloke off PH's who built a house in Torridon?

Day 4

http://www.flickr.com/photos/flyingbadger/...57600082138505/

Highlights :

Waiting for Andy to collect the phone he'd left at the hotel



It was a bit overcast to start with - so we chased the sun



Loads of deer around this area







Watch out for the nasty orcses, precious



No, I'M king





Sheep, coos, frogs and now deer.



The always stunning Glencoe as we wound our weary way south.



Oh and "The Hat"




That's yer lot. Top trip, as ever
