Title: Three GTRs Across 3 Countries.
Post by: Foody on January 04, 2015, 10:13:42 AM
After posting in the 'Facebook thread' about how easy it is to post photos on Facebook as opposed to on a forum, I thought I'd give it ago again.

It'll only seem to let me copy and paste one at a time though for some reason.

This is on the road to Applecross on the West Coast of Scotland on one of our trips. 
Travelling up from South Wales, through the Lake District and spending a few days on some fantastic roads in Scotland.

Now let's get back to Wolf's photobucket instruction thread to see how I up load more than one photo at a time.  (I guess it gets easier the more you do it!

This is the start of the climb.




(still only one image at a time for some reason.  Each time I return to photobucket to copy another image, the text from the post box here has disappeared).

Ah yes Applecross, a nice simple route to see if everyone's focused and ready for an easy ride.  :whistling:

Nice one.


(Just practicing posting photos....).  If the sun shines on us for this season, that would be nice.

Ahh Applecross, went up their in mid 90's on the "narrow" road, never forgot the feeling of fear when an Italian registered motor home came round one of the hairpin bends taking up all of the road just as I was about to enter  :gun_bandana: :hammer:  what a brilliant place.

Loch Torridon is beautiful too.

It really looks to me like the pillion is about to whack the bike rider with the board in the last picture  :mfr_lol:

Any more scenic pictures ??

Ah ... Applecross !  :smiley: :smiley: Mr Wolf and I were there recently ... but it didn't look as dry and sunny as that !

I did the Applecross road several times one week in the mid 80's on a Z1300.
It's fun if you are focussed and it's dry. Less fun in the rain.
Beautiful area to ride in.
