I was telling mandy how nice the views are up there and we were met with this ! ![]() Ollies bike when it was fully working.. ![]() we were in the "lodge" right at the top of the hill so we didnt even hear any of the "antics" . apologies for friday night , but we were pooped and by time got petrol and chippy and breakfast vitals from the green welly we were pooped.. so went bed- nice accomodation though .. own shower and loo and telly were a odsend.. ![]() ![]() ![]() view and breakfast area- ace.. ![]() Uki with a bird- very rare !.. they just came right up to te table and ate the bread.. real nice. ![]() do more in a min- get this posted in case it crashes again.. |

must admit my riding and my bike just loooved those very open A roads. I dont like the tighter bends and smaller ones.. (yea ones requiring more skill).. so dont think applecross woulda appealed to me.. would still like to do it sometime though..
but these roads were brill.. really could open up and enjoy the Rythmn.. the castle on way in to Skye- heard a piper here playing amazing grace- real scottish defining moment that .. loved it- . made me realise that yea - we are in another country now- ![]() ![]() Then I came ove rall real Scottish and refused to pay £7 each to go in! so had a hot choclate and a shortbread- SHARED !.. £4.80 still. ! saw this- maybe my next bike eh now I never on my own and Mandy likes touring- ![]() |
