Spring Break run to Applecross

 so the weather was forecast to be dry and sunny daytime but cold cold at night. At first I'd booked a wee camping spot but then quickly realised that was a stupid idea and upgraded myself to one of the cabins in the Applecross Campsite. Brilliant wee things, the one i booked was for two folks but they all have big thick foam mattresses either 2 or 4 depending on cabin size, a light inside, light outside and a heater! The also have at least one power point in them for charging phones etc. Cracking deal, highly recommend it. 

So I'm not one for taking tonnes of pictures but I took a few.

Run down the north side of the Pass of the Cattle, purpose built layby with viewpoint and good photo op

Got to the Applecross campsite and unpacked the sleeping bag(s) and sorted out the mattress. What that lurking in the background there?

After getting everything sorted in the cabin, time for some beers in the sun while drinking in the view. Then I walked to the Inn for some more beers, bit of chat and some dinner. Right outside the campsite I met these two just happily grazing on the local grass

This is the view from the seats outside the Applecross Inn and is mighty fine to sit outside when the weather is warm however don't be fooled by the sunny view here, it wasn't exactly warm by this time of the evening as the chill in  the May weather was beginning to bite. Still, it is warm and dry and cosy in the Inn

After a fine fish and chips, time for the walk home and what a view at night

Next morning set off early after a shower and headed for breakfast at the Waterside Cafe in Loch Carron. A mighty fine warm sunny morning it was so breakfast outside it was. Views and a fry up with the Bru, perfect.

After that mighty feed it was back into the car and heading for home. I will have to change my route to get home and potentially the route up there as the traffic was pretty bad and almost no opportunities to overtake safely. Far too many cars / vans on the road and it was a long trip sitting behind folks. I did however manage and avg of 25mpg which for the GTR is a poor reflection or my driving haha. Should be into the low 10s' :)
