West highlands of Scotland

[garynortheast]

Just been doing a virtual drive over to Applecross and then following the road North and East. I really do have to go here on the bike.

and thats the reason i like the low road rather than the drovers road. i have done that road about 6 times now in both directions, not to good in the pitch black though :smt119

even have some cam footage :cool:

oohhh and if you want some jaw dropping scenery then this is the road (https://www.google.com/maps?saddr=B869&daddr=B869+to:A837+to:Unknown+road+to:Unknown+road +to:Unknown+road+to:Unknown+road&hl=en&ll=58.115616,-5.181427&spn=0.375749,1.344452&sll=58.000139,-5.112634&sspn=0.01178,0.042014&geocode=FR2beAMdOHKz_w%3BFWN6eAMdyJmv_w%3BFV9kdwMd Thiw_w%3BFbvydQMdAY-u_w%3BFX7UdQMdoHWt_w%3BFX6vdQMdOUyu_w%3BFdMAdQMd4B yy_w&mra=mi&mrsp=6&sz=15&t=m&z=10)

Bloody hell, there's too much to choose from!

I love the views you get heading North towards Upper Loch Torridon. Just outstanding.

But anything past Callander is biking country. Come and give it a go.

p.s theres one cabin and one triple room free at the GM and theres a decent group going up to stay at Applecross on the Sunday and Mondays nights.... you know you wanna

https://goo.gl/maps/niV4wDude, it really is as good as it looks. I have similar pictures somewhere (rummages on Facebook)....

There you go... Taken on GMII I seem to recall

Another favourite vista, the Kyle of Sutherland. Not a great photo but you get the gist :cool:

It's lovely up there!

[garynortheast]

I have been up there a few times over the years and I well recall just how spectacular it is. The road you linked to, Lance, I recognised although it's 1972 since I last rode along it.


I'd love to come on the GM Chucca but I'll be with the family in Thailand/Cambodia/Vietnam on those dates.


I shall have to see if I can wangle a long weekend to get up to the Highlands before then.

[Heorot]

In 1968 I drove an Austin A40 from Stirling to Mallaig with a tight schedule to catch the ferry to Skye. No speed limits then and was before the highland roads were "improved" so some of the journey was on General Wade's military roads. Narrow, winding, frightening but brilliant. I can still remember some of the sections vividly after all this time. As Carelesschucka said, try the roads beyond Callendar.

[BanannaMan]

Oh my!! :shock: Wow!!
Truely some of the most scenic roads on the planet!

[JamesMio]

Excuse for another hop across the water Bill....?

I wish that was all that was keeping me away.
Got some health and job issues at the moment.
Seems I have none of either. :rolleyes:
