We've not been so definitely interested in that!

After you spoke of your obsession to me a couple of years ago I decided it had to be on me route home, I definitely was not disappointed! And my topbox proudly sports the sticker to prove it



The road down the ferry is full of twisty blind turns with dodgy gravel strewn about in places but so worth it. And keep your eyes peeled for Victor, the local white tailed sea eagle, he fishes in the bay at Kylerhea

Yay!!!

I've never seen Victor on my travels but I'll certainly keep my eye out for him, shouldn't be hard to spot its not as if he's the size of a sparrow.

My phone autocorrected "Not going to be late" to "Not going to be Dull" just now.

Even inanimate objects are getting excited!

Could Sandrine and I have seen a pair of Golden Eagles from that wee road down to Glenelg Maria?

8 Weeks!!!

Do I now?

a - get excited
b - get nervous
c - start packing
d - forget about all of this and run away?

Remember guys if you want a T-Shirt have a look at the buying thread the more we sell the more we can give to John to keep this happy place running. ATM we have made £32 for the forum which is great, its brilliant guys.

BTW, there are 2 free bunks at Durness on the Thursday night if anyone is interested in tagging along, lots of miles and smiles there and back down to the GM on the Friday.

wont be drinking and more than likely early bed, its the ride there and down thats the important part.

ride pace will be moderate but plenty of stops.
