Applecross / Skye Trip

[Scorpion]

Had a great weekend away on the Applecross / Skye trip. The weather was poor but the company and scenery were fantastic.

It's always tricky meeeting new people but everyone was so friendly and it was great putting faces to names. I'd especially like to thank Brian and Annie for the warm welcome to their home.

The Wigwams were okay to stay in, dry and warm, although the rat in the wall on Friday night was a bit scary!

Saturday was fantastic and the drive over the Pass Of The Cattle was truly breath taking!

The journey home on Sunday was a nightmare! Road works on the M74 and torrential rain made driving very difficult, 10 hours to get home!

Anyway, just like to say thanks again to everyone for a brilliant weekend. Sorry we couldn't say goodbye to everyone on Sunday morning but I hear some people were having a lie in suffering a hangover!

Pictures to follow..........

we were up in Glen Sheil - Kintail and I could see Applecross from the top of the mountain we climbed and was thinking of you guys, didnt spot any surf convoys when we were out and about though

did you drive up the track to mast at the top of the pass?

Oh yes! Well not me actually, but the temptation was too great for almost everyone else though.
