[Stevo7682]

Two Qs...

1. Deposit to be paid by 1st April, or in full by 1st April?
2. How much are we talking about?

I just need a bit of warning, so I can pop down CashConverters in plenty of time

Just deposit by 1st April
Balance due 4 weeks before arrival
Cost for you if booking dinner b&b
for 3 nights single room would be £240.
total.
Deposit would be £80

I have skirted through a few of your air flow threads ( very interesting ).
Well I have a performance killer for you.

Once you get past Fort William if you go into a petrol station and ask for super unleaded they will just point and laugh.
Fort William will be the last place you will get any that is still 75 miles from hotel .

Edit
But the trade off is I am going to take you here.

@andyglym the above pictures were taken on the Bealach Na Ba ( pass of the cattle ) the road to Applecross you will love this section as this is Hardknott pass on a jaw dropping scale .

Lovely stuff mate

Andy you have done Hardknott a number of times and you did the Cairnwell pass and the Lecht on 2018 Scottish run ( the 2 highest paved roads in uk ) The Applecross road ( the 3rd highest) is a little bit different and more special as after you turn off the main road it's then 11 miles to Applecross and you are at sea level to start and finish ( as opposed to the other 2 which are already in the mountains) over the 11 miles you climb to the viewpoint at 2038 ft then back down you get a proper feeling of the altitude on the climb up

@andyglym "liked" a post that suggests that I might run out of fuel .

When I did the NEWS tour, I took some octane booster for just such an occasion.

[edit]I've just bought some octane booster (£13.99 for three bottles)[/edit]

 

[Stevo7682]

Have started to save up my good weather stamps already .
Hopefully can save up enough to pay for a sunny weekend

A long trip but worth it as long as you have the weather organised. The last time at Applecross all we saw was cloud and a very slow moving Toyota Avensis.

I won't deny Mike when we got to the viewpoint a few weeks ago this was the view

 

[mwpe]

Still better than the one we had.

We didn't even stop on the top IIRC Mike

True but we made up for the Avensis later.

 

[Stevo7682]

It was on cloudy right at the top no rain shame would have liked to see the view as it is superb on the way up

 

[Jjim]

Really looking forward to this

On the way up on Friday, anyone coming from the south are you up for meeting up on the M6 like last year?
