Default The Highlands

470 miles today, day trip from Edinburgh to Applecross for lunch and back again. Large amounts of quality roads and the same amount of brilliant scenery. And far less of the shitty traffic Wales suffers from.

Brilliant time, even though I'm in a shitty diesel.

No pics, too busy driving! :-)

Even the drive from Newcastle to Edinburgh is brilliant. I recommend the Coldstream road.

That is a long old run. Why in a diesel?

Scotland (and Wales) have some of the best scenery anywhere in the world imo.

I'm in a diesel because that's what my car is. Will probably be replaced with an m3 or m135i next year.

On your own or part of a group?


(Any excuse to wheel out these favourites ... )

Roof down in all weathers ...



And the famous McNurburgring ...


(aka The Lecht road)

On my own. I don't do group driving anymore. Brings out bad tendencies in me.
