James Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 The roads around Loch Ness (Fort Augustus etc.) are lovely! I'd also recommend heading out to the west to Applecross. Brilliant! I put a thread up with some pictures from the trip when I did it before (passenger, no Supra at the time) which I'll find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 (edited) Here was the post in fact. Myself, Nick(amsweet), Lewis & Leith went on a trip for a couple of days, landing at Fort Augustus and then on the next day to Applecross on the West Coast. The road around Loch Ness to get to Fort Augustus was awesome for a blast and then that road to Applecross (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bealach_na_Ba) was something else aswell! Both the S2000 and the Evo V done great on them, mucho fun! Most definitely recommend the trip to anyone! I got a few videos (mostly of the S2000 as I was in the Evo) which I'll get uploaded soon. Here's some of the pictures I took though:- Comments welcomed. Edited June 19, 2010 by James (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixelfill Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Steph finishes work 14th July for the summer break - so I guess mr Wilding will be the same I need to check with work, but might be able to take some time off, failing that any of those weekends are currently good.

AlexM Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 How much could you actually fit in in a weekend? I'd love to do a Scotland road trip but it's a long way up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Ian Posted June 19, 2010 Author Share Posted June 19, 2010 How much could you actually fit in in a weekend? I'd love to do a Scotland road trip but it's a long way up. Probably not alot we could be just north of Glasgow in 4ish hours but what im thinking of is running up on the west coast passed Dumfries Ayr then past Glasgow and depending on how many days peeps have off work from there, looking for about 4 days at least if possable any more and we can run upto the top of scotland maybe ?
