I know they've run this article before, 'cos I contacted them to tell them that there are Shell petrol stations north of Glasgow (one in Helensburgh and one just before the Erskine Bridge). You'd think someone would check!

I'm sure I have footage somewhere of the road from the A82 all the way down to Loch Etive. Will try and find it.

Somewhat appropriately for the wettest location in the UK, it was raining on the Monday when I was there. So, as before, there are two versions.
The normal version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MTwqrYqEG8 (28 minutes) and the speeded up version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8MhwOiXmk0 (2 minutes)

I'm sure I've been up there as well, just racking my brains to try and recall when, and even more, why!
