Had a bit of a bad week with yet another driver trying to run my post bike off the road through Broadford, so today being my day off, and with having a little job outstanding in Camusteel, I took the motorbike out.

Skye, over the bridge, through Kyle and up to Lochcarron, on up to Kishorn, over Belach na Ba (spelling?) to Applecross, on to Camusteel. Return over the pass and on up to Shieldaig (no sign of SC), and then return home. 135 miles, sunshine, very quiet roads, brilliant scenery, feel much better now.

Now thats why I came up here, not as a target on a pedal cycle.

Great weather wasn't it.

The red Triumph Sprint ST parked up outside the pub for a few mins and then along the road was mine. Never passed the door into the pub (wouldn't drink and ride)except to see that Seafood Stew was on the menu. That really is superb, must go back again.
There was a grey Porsche with private plate in Applecross and later on the road to Shieldaig thought it might have been you, but they were reading map books etc.
Cheers

Hi Steve. Ages since I explored the forums here - been way too busy moving and settling in north Skye. I've put another flag fairly close to Shieldaig (as the crow flies) just to give you a bit of company. Give me a wave if you see me around. And you Tony. I'll do likewise.
