Another day another set of banal shots of Zeds (and a shaguarr) somewhere in and around the NC500.. :rofl:

Friday’s weather held off raining…midges we’re having a tough time in 25mph gusting 40 winds.. :tumbleweed:

We choose to go to on with this endeavour at this time and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard..

Another tough day…mist, low cloud, sun, heavy showers..mostly sun..another sh***y day in paradise..

Wick to John o Groats across the top then down to Ullapool…bloody expensive in Ullapool…very busy..the rest of the route was the quietest I’ve ever seen it..lots of resurfaced roads..bit busy around Lochinver..

The scenery just keeps on giving…

Day 3 Ullapool to Applecross then onto Inverness

Another great day..lots of good weather..no rain..many roads in much better condition…some still decaying…

Traffic unbelievably quiet…one very angry bunny in a camper van but everyone else very obliging..

A massive thank you to Peter for organising such a great trip. :thumbsup:

And thanks to Mike and Steve for their company and banter along the way. I definitely plan to return but sadly I'm heading South now, albeit with a couple of stops along the way.

I'm not sure how but I managed to average 27.4 mpg - I doubt I will again. :lol:
