Up round and down.
 

Well just arrived home safely after quite the trip up to Orkney and back again.

Ordinarily I would have headed straight up the A9 and came back the same route but this time I decided to take in some of the north west coast and also the famous Applecross pass.

What a road that was, should be on everyones list of things to do.

Just don't do it in a camper van like some tit did and made it rather a tight squeeze past each other.

In total the journey was 1700+ miles, many refills of the 8 and myself were required but I really enjoyed it and the car performed flawlessly +++

It's the car you need for that trip. +++
(someone here was trying to cop out and take a BMW 1-series! :eek: )

A very nice route, and on my list. I just need to decide which car to take for it. Decisions, decisions - I'm very lucky really, as both would be ideal for it ,but t'll probably not happen till next year now.

Great journey to make and fantastic photos Del, must try it myself sometime +++

I'll need to save up the £500 fuel fund first though :)

Yeah you all should do the trip. Stunning views.

Might do it on a bike next time

I have dash cam footage that I'll have a go at processing and may post it if it looks good enough.

Done all of that over the past 30 is years on many motorbikes and an X 5
Need , no REALLY NEED TO DO IT IN AN 8 , next year
Thinking about it I did it on the black watch ( a Fred Olsen tramp steamer ) as well

Wow Del, looks amazing...one more thing added on my bucket list! +++
