Thanks :oops:

Consider it being considered... Hopefully a few more Scots will turn up and we can take longer to venture farther north. B&Bs are a requirement though, I'm done with camping - I refuse to miss another early morning blast :lol:

Twas one of the best nights sleep I've had in a tent - and the A road early morning blast hunting out breakfast was 15 minutes of awesome, rather than 40 minutes of scenery.

That might work for me, but WB will probably not be persuaded... Though there are places that a B&B may not be possible, like Applecross.

You are right of course, that was the perfect bite-sized blast :thumbsup:

I think 'intimidating' is a bit strong... But it focused the attention. Your and jaRED's advice throughout was very welcome though, especially the concise and direct manner of that from your good lady :lol:

@Lynchy - you'd have loved it mate, next time :driving:

Allan, I also mentioned that we should do this again Next year, especially as I missed the Sunday run.....more than happy to help with that for sure, as didn't have the time this year, not that you needed it anyway....superb run mate :driving:

All going well we can have more Scottish forum members in attendance next time :D

Also, John/Sammyz and me have been chatting about a Welsh meet, planned for APRIL/MAY next year, so Maybe go for Early /mid August??

+3 Some lovely roads :driving: Ade & Liz Flint arranged a run around the Elan valley area for the Alpina forums last year and, although the scenery wasn't quite as spectacular as that on the Skye run, it was a most enjoyable weekend
