Just thought I’d post a wee write up (after some time) on a trip to Scotland in the First weekend in June. I went with a couple of Friends who I go with regularly……..but this time both had brought Ducati’s instead of their usual mounts!!
Met Just outside the Ferry Terminal…..Nearly all the containers in the port were from China!!
GS Dwarves the Ducati’s
Met Mr Alte Wolf on his way to Gairloch then off for an audience with the king of Oonyakistan.
Headed up to get Ferry No2 from Gourock to Dunoon.
The Navy were out playing in their nuclear RV.
Headed out to Inverary, Lochgilphead then stopped for lunch at Seil Island at Clachan Seil.
Pretty Wee spot.
No real stops until we got to sunny Dornie. But it was a nice run up through Oban and Fort William …….and an even better one from Invergary to the Kyle…….Bye Bye Ducati’s!!
Sunny Dornie.
Pointing the camera the other side of the bridge
Looking down Loch Alsh toward Skye!
Had tea outside the Dornie Hotel and this wee chap was awaiting scraps.
Up Bright and early before the run North. Pretty much Blue Sky’s
Just thought I’d photograph this lonely wee tree on the sand spit in Loch Alsh.
On the Way to Torridon on the run North.
Stopped at Badachro for a spot of lunch. Well worth a diversion.
The view from the Decking toward Gairloch.
Went on via Gairloch Poolewe and Dundonell to Ullapool and spotted Alte Wolf and H.R.H Oonyak heading south.
Turned off the main road North to Ledmore to take the back road past Stac Pollaidh and on to Lochinver. Some snaps of the bikes
I was wondering if any 916 variants had ever been on this road……..especially when it descended into a track of foot deep gravel were it had recently been resurfaced.
No More stops until Kylesku bridge when action shots were requested. The Ducati’s sounded great coming over the bridge.
No more photos on the road that day. But the route was Durness, Tongue, Altnaharra, Lairg, Dingwall, Achnasheen, Lochcarron and back to Dornie.
Dornie and Eilean Donan by night.
Heading down to Killin the next day and headed to Carr Point viewpoint. This is the view Along Loch Duich Toward Glenshiel.
We headed toward the Cairngorms toward via Fort Augustus and Carrbridge. Still a bit of snow in them thar hills
Near the Lecht
Went via Glenshee, Braemar Blairgowrie, Aberfeldy and eventually onto Killin.
Went past quite a few of these!
The Falls of Dochart was more of a trickle. They hadn’t seen rain for six weeks by the 8th of June……hasn’t stopped raining since though.
On the final day we meandered down toward Stranrear and did a bit of exploring round the Rhins of Galloway. I often bypass this area but it is worth a visit. Afternoon tea was has at the Corsewall Light hotel at the Northern tip of the Rhins
Then tea in Sunny Portpatrick before heading over on the Ferry.
The trip was about 1300miles in the Four Days and the Ducati’s never missed a beat!
Unfortunately it was not a bugs life J
