Yet another day off, with the sun shinning, so the west coast it is then.
Took the tourist route around Loch Ness, cos there aint many tourist up here yet, so it can be and is fun when the roads are normally stocked with vehicles. Took a right at Invermorriston and headed towards Kyle of Lochalsh. This road rocks, with open bits that stretch your view and throttle cable in equal measure, twisty bits that get you focused in a way only twisty bits of road can, and gentle, meandering bits that calm the inner man.
Loch Cluanie
Did the mandatory photo of Eilean Donnan castle on the way past.
Took a right before Kyle and headed for Loch Carron and the Beallach towards Applecross.
Didn’t actually go down into Applecross, just did the picture thing on the way up, on the top and on the way down.
On the way up
Twisty bits near the top
View at the top
How high are we?
Going down looking up!
A view of the rear of the hills around the pass
Next I headed for Kinlochewe via Glen Torridon
Time was getting on, so instead of completing my planned route that included Gairloch & Ullapool, at Kinlochewe I headed for Achnasheen, Inverness and home.
Just under 300 miles – my longest run on the CBF so far – and all on quiet and dry roads that had the sun shining on them = SWEEEET
