So for our first wedding anniversary we've decided to do a road trip round Scotland. The route I'm doing is very similar to the Hoon route I did earlier this year. See video :D

@Shortie_gal has never been to Scotland and having been round Switzerland I can safely say they are both on par with each other.

This is the route I've planned.

Day 1
https://maps.app.goo.gl/?link=https...54522602-2b5e138a-74fd-4ffe-a5bd-15314de7c91d

Day 2
https://maps.app.goo.gl/?link=https...54522602-ef46cdb6-ddb6-4a19-8a6a-ca531398df2d

Day 3
https://maps.app.goo.gl/?link=https...54522602-a3bb3f7a-68eb-4e32-8772-c0987009bd1c

It's the best part of a day to get there and get home. Total is 1500 miles :D Are you along that route @Brian H ?

Did it last year. Amazing place, and outstanding roads.
Bealach na ba to Applecross pass is one of the best roads in the uk for driving and scenery :coolsteer)

Let me know your dates @Lee, if I'm free I'll meet up with you on your route.

If I may be so bold and you if you have the time on day one this bit of road will not disappoint. You can get turned in the Ski Centre if you wish, this road is stunning going in both directions!

oh man,,, day 2 is a stonker mate,,, Applecross is just heaven on earth. did it a few years on the bike, absolute love that area :)

When you get up near applecross, dont go Plockton way, get right in there and up the Bealach na Ba pass .. lol its just awesome and come back down the same route..

When you get to Glencoe, go into the petrol station and tell Ali that your a mate of mine and she's to treat you like royalty pmsl, shes nutzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz youll love her..

Wish we could meet up, but no idea if this new zed would do the trip lol (yet)

Have a blast mate, and welcome to the scenic part of the UK ;)
