Nice photos there Istoo, and that looks like a crackin ribbon of tarmac up ahead in the first pic. Kristina's already askin when we can go out again, she's got a list as long as your arm of places she wants to see, so looks like the 90 will get a few more miles under her belt in the next while.
Will definately be good to see a few 80's, 90's and 100's together in the same place, they're all gettin to be a rare sight.

Back in 2005 we had a fortnight staying in 'The Lockeepers Cottage' at Fort Augustus. It was just simply the most ideal holiday for me. We did thousands of miles just touring around. We did the 'Bealach na bah' and the Applecross Peninsula and it was just the absolute dogs for me. I love Wales I really do and I am lucky to live on it's doorstep but, and I do mean but, Scotland does just pip it to the post. It is so vast and utterly awesome. The only downside was I didn't do the trip in a quattro of any description, but it was still good fun thrashing the 210 ponies in the Missus's Seat Leon Cupra

So spare a thought when you post up pics like you have. It tugs at the heartstrings old Boy!

Just to prove to you Northern reporobates that us Southerners get up North, sadly not often enough though.

quattrokid · 30-09-09, 09:49 PM

YOUR FIRST 2 PHOTS are a few corners up hill from where the 1 with the 3 bonnets up was taken.

your second photo location taken up the hill behind the corner

pass of the cattle is a cracker. i remember going up there in reverse in our 504 as a kid. it was notorious for killing lorries this road. Then went up a few years later in my fathers Bagheera and it flew up!

Its a nice little stretch but if your lucky and get a clear day you will "get it". If you can spend some time around applecross area. Which is overly busy this year thanks to monty hall. I was brought up with a view like that every day and it still never ceases to take my breath away from time to time.
