Looks like we might be able to make soemthing of a fashion statement for midge hoods in 2010 - if enough of us wear them - we've now got ours too !! lovely indeed
Really looking forward to this trip now - just need some more sunshine for the bbq & beer....

That made me laugh...

A great day driving alright! Some fantastic roads.... really looking forward to today - settled down for a midge free breakfast!
Slept fatastically thanks to the gift of ear plugs... apparently a motorbikeist left at about 4am! Also slept through that annoying family.

HI Guys,
Been home about half hour that was GOOOOOOD!!!!!! Many thanks to A11Y for taking the time to organise the event (and yes you're forgiven for the ferry hee hee!). Seriously thanks M8, think a great time was had by all what a run! 390 round trip no it was better 604. And I told all you happy campers that
Skye midges were the "Devil incarnate". Whens the next one?
Cheers
Rick

Well that was some weekend: the best sign of a good weekend of roof-down driving? Sunburnt scalp, ouch... 8)
Great weekend away, great scenery, great weather and cracking chat and company to complete it. Just a bugger about the ferry c*ck up but hopefully I'm forgiven. At least it was a great road that we got to drive twice and not something boring! Some of my memories of the weekend:
* 3rd gear overtakes
* Fort William - Mallaig x 2
* Seagulls
* Damn Harley riders
* Transit vans
* MIDGES
And the figures:
532 miles (take about 50miles off that to get the Stirling-Skye-Stirling round trtip distance)
OBC mpg: 37.6mpg (tank 1), 39.2mpg (tank 2)
Real-world mpg: 35.7mpg (tank 1), TBC (tank 2)
Number of midge bites: lots
Number of overtakes: lost count :evil:
Photos are downloading from the camera as I type - apparently Jo's taken a few good ones of Nosa's car (from the front obviously so you can't see his small wheels
)

And so......It begins
Was thinking, there will be a lot of pics from everyone, Maybe we should all upload our top 5 from the trip and maybe start a road trip (c) type thread in the gallery section?
