scooby doom Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 With the Moray area grey and overcast on Sunday past (24/07/11), my MLR mate and I decided the only chance we had of seeing the sun was for a wagons west run. So with a successful run up and around Ullapool back in April already in the bag we opted for a pilgrimage to Applecross and the Bealach na Ba pass. As forecast, once west of Inverness the sun did indeed come out and a great time was had by all, well both of us anyhoo. Managed to get a load of pic's so here are the highlights. We're planning another run but it'll probably be into September if anyone's interested. I'l post it in events with pleanty of warning closer to the time.

BalliSTIc Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 How annoyed was yer mate that ye kept stopping for snaps? *chuckle* Happy memories of the 'Fling 2010. +1 for a repeat... but no yellow NSX's this time please!
davey l wrx Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 Nice pics, i'll have to pay Applecross a visit some day. Run in Sep sounds good, i was going to put something up for a Moray outing but it looks like there's no need now.
thebigfelly Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 got two weeks holiday in september, 1week the same as magnificent machines and the week after, would love to do the applecross run there
scooby doom Posted July 26, 2011 Author Posted July 26, 2011 Cheers for the positive comments. This wasn't set out to be a 'run' as such, more a couple of mates filling in a Sunday that got carried away. First choice was to run Elgin to Mallaig, via Aviemore and Fort William, then take the ferry across to Armadale and up to Elgin via Kyle of Lochalsh, Inverness etc. Unfortunately, a lack of time and the extra cost put pay to that this time.
highlandflyer Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 Sorry haven't worked this posting thing out yet but pics certainly good enough for a second viewing and look forward to joining the next trip.
RA Dunk Posted July 27, 2011 Posted July 27, 2011 Haa! If living and working with hill billies isn't enough you even search you tube for them! You still in the USofA just now then?
wilky Posted July 27, 2011 Posted July 27, 2011 Yes Dunk, Im home on holiday shortly, and intend driving that road over the next month or so, its always been an ambition of mine since John S did an article in True Grip on it about 2003-04.
Gumball Posted July 27, 2011 Posted July 27, 2011 Mate this is an awesome adventure ! It has inspired me to go and do this on Monday before I go back to work for 3 weeks !! I went from Glasgow- Lomond- Glencoe- Great Glen- Kyle- Strathcarron- Loch Maree- Gairloch last week but missed out the road you were on. These photos as well.................they are SUPERB !!! Well Done !! Please make the september outing between 1st and 12th so I can make it

Well Done !! Please make the september outing between 1st and 12th so I can make it Cheers I was staying in Drymen a couple of weeks back and pretty much drove most of that route home, Loch Lomond- Glencoe- Fort William- Inverness- Fochabers. Nothing set as yet for September as I'll need to check my shifts for the first couple of weeks in Septmeber closer to the time. My mate posted a link on MLR in a 'run to Aplecross' thread and has a few takers too, so may be a joint venture if folks can get their head round the notion and play nice.
