IMOC Skye drive Sept 08 -

awesome awesome fun. Left Glasgow at 7am - taking the longest / slowest route out, dunno why I did that and headed up to Aviemore via Tarbet, Tyndrum, Fort William then Spean Bridge -> Newtonmore, Aviemore. Hop up to Inverness then along to Drumnadrochit for lunch. Head to Skye via Invermoriston then into Portree for camping.

Weather up on the Friday was stunning, utterly sublime I took my t-bars out at 10am ish at Spean Bridge and only put them in for lunch briefly then back on at 6pm in Skye after a days driving. Some pics of the run up

Tarbet at sunrise



The run across Rannoch Moor







Loch Laggan on route to Newtonmore



A terrible day in Skye..............





A well earned drink by my fellow camper, was soo warm on Skye that we were sweating putting up each of the tents! Unheard of and most unexpected by very welcome, as was the beer. Torvaig Camp Site, stunning views



The road to the pub from the campsite





The view from Cafe Arriba that was our breakfast stop Saturday and Sunday, well recommended



Atmospheric hills on route to Uig



All in all a great weekend, I haven't got many pics of other days simply because they were mostly crap! Bad use of camera lol
