An Easter Ride North to Crask

[Dellis]

Had a trip up north at the weekend weather was ideal Called in on our friends who live on Skye and they rode up to Crask with us on friday. Spent the night at The Crask Inn then headed back down to Skye for a couple of days. Too much boozing on saturday night meant that we didn't manage to turn a wheel on sunday contrary to the grand plan of lunching at The Applecross Inn

The Route

The Crask Inn

A bit fresh before breakfast

The road was better when we set off but the weather was on the turn

The bike looking somewhat sorry for itself

I have said it before and at the risk of being repetitive, you're a mad bastard Dave.

Not nearly as mad as Sandra ( I think) for going on the back on some of Dave's 'little' jaunts

Crask Inn - if I'm not mistaken............ is the unofficial title holder in the "coldest recorded temperature in the UK". (-35C deg?)

Good pic of the bike in a "sorry state".......... any of you in a similar state?

Oh - you're barking mad, by the way............

Right you are Rushy.

A couple of years ago Sandra and I were heading to Scotland on a very cold November evening, via the Autocom I was giving her the usual "oh don't worry about the cold it's character building" when she announced that she was never heading north in winter again. As you can imagine this was not what I was hoping to hear as I do enjoy a little winter jaunt so I had no choice but to 'invest' in a heated jacket which I gave her for her birthday (that didn't go down too well to be honest well not until she tried it out anyway). Since the heated jacket this is the first ride that she has complained about the cold so I think some heated gloves may be next on the list....

We were round about there at that time but we were on the Invermoriston to Kyle road which is one road to the North. I was riding with a blue Triumph Sprint ST which was one up and I was obvoiusly two up.
