A week for the textiles to be sure, but see when the sun comes out? Bloody great so it is!

Joined up with the Essex Lounge for part of their trip to John O Groats. Dicky Ticker will no doubt lead with the team phots when they get back but here's a couple of solo efforts meantime.

Glenfinnan Monument at the top of Loch Shiel between Fort William and Mallaig

On the Tomintoul to Cockbridge road (note what passes for traffic in those parts in the distance!)

And Loch Carron on the A890 between Auchentyre and Achnasheen, my new favourite road...

Ha-ha! I've done all those bits this year already. Rate them all highly.

When you get to the Achnasheen roundabout, if you hang a left to Gairloch that is a fab single tracker with wide open corners for 'making progress', feels like a go-cart track!:thumright:

Good to know! Being lowlanders and englanders and general shandy drinkers we had petrol station anxiety by Achnasheen and just took the easy road to Ullapool but I'll be back for sure.

And sorry we all went to Skye without popping in for tea mate, won't happen again!

Yeah, the Achnasheen petrol station should be re-opened.

Just about every bike on the route used it.

Where is the last pic taken? Scratching our heads here!

So far... Armadale...nah, or Mallaig...hmm, or maybe Ullapool??? :confused:
