Woolly Bollard Tour pics
Discussion
Got back last night from what has become an annual pilgrimmage to the Highlands with several other S2000 owners. Known as The Woolly Bollard Tour, we enjoy the best scenery and roads these islands possess, with nary another car in sight.
I also tend to take an obscene amount of pictures - brace yourselves
(I'm just copying and pasting from my posts on S2ki, so the more "familiar" comments won't make sense here, but I can't be arsed editing it all 
)
Day 1
Elgin to Tongue
Flickr Set
Highlights :
C7BLE does Bono.
So to speak.
A bit of a shock turning off a fast A-road onto this
Tally ho
Aawwww (where's the mint sauce?)
Some ruin or other
Hotel in Tongue
...beneath Ben Loyal
Sunset
Muir burn that got away. It was somewhat apocalyptic
Day 2
Tongue to...Tongue actually, this year we stayed in the same place 2 nights and did a loop.
Day 2
Flickr Set
Highlights :
Nearly fell off the road honking onto the brakes to take this one before everyone disappeared around the corner
Mmm...road...
EPS Failure? Surely not
Wheeeee
At this point, C7BLE did something he was going to regret...he gave his keys to Colin (who'd left his car at the hotel that day)
Lunch at Kylesku
Twisty
Noo...give me the keys back...
Hell of a view
Oh dear...
It's not a proper WBT if this doesn't happen at least once
Heading back toward Tongue
Get orrff moi laaaand
Day 3
Tongue to Kintail (Loch Duich)
Day 3
Flickr Set
Highlights :
45.16 litres + 5 litre can 15 minutes previously = Graham had to get a lift
Coffee stop in Ullapool
Zoom zoom zoom
Lunch in Gairloch - they laid on a special chair just for Colin
Such a charming young lady the rest of the time
Dribble...
Charlotte "Ooo, let me take a photo of the baby!"
C7BLE "Have you seen the horns on the one 2 feet from my car??? Move!"
Afternoon stop in Applecross
Bumped into a small Smart convoy
Bealach beckons
Only got one photo this time - I got a bit of vertigo so didn't let go of the steering wheel.
...or the brakes
Hotel for the last night - Kintail Lodge.
Sunset on Loch Duich
Andy asked me to make him look beautiful. I left that lens at home.
Day 4
Kintail to Stirling (via Tomtoun & Glencoe/Rannoch Moor)
Day 4
Flickr Set
Highlights :
Waiting for Andy to collect the phone he'd left at the hotel
It was a bit overcast to start with - so we chased the sun
Loads of deer around this area
Watch out for the nasty orcses, precious
No, I'M king
Sheep, coos, frogs and now deer.
The always stunning Glencoe as we wound our weary way south.
Top long weekend
