Steve - came by your way in December in the Sagaris - same day we had all the rain and gails/landslides. A great drive - we did 900 miles in 36 hours. Wished I had thought about it, as we could have popped in to say hello - invitation pending of course.

Anytime sir... although we were in Cumbria at that time doing the aged parent thing. TIV in all that rain must have been fun!

But of course - what do you fancy. TVR was quite hairy at some points, but pretty good all thing considered.

That's good to know. It's more for friends who don't want to drive their P&J the length of the country to visit.

Excellent photos, remind me of up at Lochinver...haven't been back up for a while ..but now want to go! Drive up is brilliant and the scenery is just amazing around it........off looking of the place I used (luxury cottages)... found them...

First time I was up (with then girlfriend) I parked my then pride and Joy an XR2i 1800 DOHC 16V (I was just a boy) modified with no visible door locks (only way I could stop the neds from breaking into it ..worked a treat!) outside cottage..having followed the owner up from the nearby (4miles) harbour.

As I put on my stop lock and krook lock etc he just looked at me bemused (bearing in mind the last 35 Miles from Ullapool we had barely seen a car or other living soul) and said...

.."do you know many sheep that drive cars son??"

I got his point....chilled out, relaxed and had a brilliant time not worrying about anything ..including thoughts of some scrot trying to break into my car.

I was out taking photos a couple of days ago, and it was only when I was about half a mile from the car that I realsied that not only had I left the keys in the ignition, but the engine was still running!

Testament moreso to the infrequency of traffic there rather than the innate trustworthiness of the inhabitants, though. (Not that I think GetCarter was suggesting otherwise.)

Still, hopefully we won't have to worry about that sort of thing for too much longer given the speed with which Inverness is spreading forever outwards, cancerlike. (Not that I'm anything but a fan of the biege, Barrat hell that Inverness is turning into.)

[drivenmad]

Aye but that view across the Black isle as you cross the bridge is still awsome........
