ShawnPreece Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Wow what a weekend iv had... alot of miles, alot of fun and a huge lack of sleep but one of the best weekends ever... it was all based around Applecross which if you haven't seen it is a Scottish event on this forum. Before I left home at 3:30am on thursday I downloaded an app on my phone called "Map my Drive" which shows where you have driven since starting tracking, I done 2123.4 miles and here is my map of roads covered... Firstly after driving from my house in Hereford (west mids) up to Aberdeen on the thursday morning it was then time for Applecross, so friday morning I went over to the west coast to meet everyone finding nice roads along the way... We then stopped at Eilean Donan Castle for lunch... Then back on the road and on our way to applecross found some more nice roads and a tunnel... A nice photo of Sunny's (SPG) car... Some more nice roads on the way... A group photo at the top of applecross... Photos of the applecross road on the way down... Actually stopped and included the Civic in some photos lol.... A Happy Gordy... While setting up for another group photo... More nice roads... A cool picture that was on the wall of the bathroom in my room... Sunny then kindly let me be passenger in his Supra... Some nice roads and views that we found (the whole place is nice roads and views though so only a few)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnPreece Posted August 30, 2017 Author Share Posted August 30, 2017 We then arrived at ACE Sports activity centre for clay pigeon shooting and axe throwing… Where they had a cool outdoor shower… Here was Sunny, Michael and Gordy clay pigeon shooting… This was the look on Sunny’s face when he realised he was really good at clay pigeon shooting… Then we done axe throwing where I got highest score (had to add that bit) We weren’t quite sure what Michael was doing here… Sunny caught red handed adjusting Gordy’s seat (still not sure Gordy has it back in the correct position even now lol)… Gordy’s shopping list stack… It’s a boy… A few of the Supra’s parked together… Happy Gordy again… Sunny cleaning his car for a quick photo… The photo… Nice roads on the way to the ferry… The ferry… Then time to head back over to Aberdeen to pick up some bits from Alex (Bear) and to see Lauren and travelled more nice roads... Also came across this on my way... Lauren says hi to everyone… Then went off down to Eastbourne to see Rosie (Supragal) to go for double burger and freakshakes at Maxwells… Then back home again for just after 11pm on Monday night ready for work Tuesday morning. All in all a fantastic weekend so thankyou to everyone that made it great especially to Gordy and Sunny (SPG) for arranging such a great event as Applecross.

AlexJames Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 The roads from Eilean Donan up to Skye are fantastic! I used to have a girlfriend on the Island so would drive them from time to time. Some of the best roads I have found so far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobgoblin Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Excellent write up. I love a good road trip. My recent 900 mile one, up to, and around, Northumberland, to visit my homeland, looks like a walk in the park compared with yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
