Mr Wolf and Rusty head to The Highlands .....

[Rusty]

Well here we are at the end of day 2 .... Steve will add all the finer details I have no doubt ... Started off with a very decent breakfast at the Hotel. .. A big "Scottish" breakfast, you know what I mean, sausages, Haggis, tomatoes etc ... But Steve had his WITHOUT the Haggis or the tomatoes or ..... So quite simply it was the most "un Scottish" breakfast I had ever seen !!
It was Isle of Skye we were heading off to but today it was going to be in the rain, AND plenty of it ! For most of the day it's been wet but with a hint of warmth.
We have visited a distillery, been on a very rickety old "ferry", met a couple of lovely Border Collies at Spean Bridge and been to the very old .. older than Geoff I believe, Eilean Donan Castle. Only 150 miles today but still out and about from 0900 arriving here at about 5 ish.
If I can manage my photos properly then I shall stick one on the end of this thread, if not then when I return to civilisation I shall put an album up for you ... There are some great piccies and stories  to tell
but with very limited Internet access and strength downloading pictures is hard ...
This is quite simply a great little trip, just the sort of thing that the Gtr was made for .. Lots of miles in comfort with no aches and pains at the end of it .. Just big smiles all round 



It's a bit big but just gives you an idea !

Great picture Rusty and very 'arty' I like that....nice colour bike too, I'm sure we're waiting for Steve's contribution now 

[2kwacks]

yea! well done steve that trip reminds me of mine and the Rossendale riders "andy" trip to Scotland last year the one you back out off which was also a brilliant weekend andy.. must do it again soon

[Rusty]

Chaps and Debs ... I have to report that today has been ......... WET ! Very wet ! 
A decent breakfast was had in the comfort of the dining room looking through the glass at the rain and ever darkening clouds ... Which would have been even darker if I had not seen, on the way back from the pub last night that my bike was, although on the centre stand, leaning to the right ... Quite a lot ! Steve doesn't care much for green bikes so he just walked on oblivious to the potential disaster .... But I could see ... It's very light up here very late ...  That I had pulled the bike up onto a bit of driveway hat had recently been repaired or had some work done to it and the right side of the stand was sinking into the "new" tarmac ... Yikes ! Anyway a catastrophe was averted and I went off to find Steve who was talking to someone about pigeons ... 
So, where was I ? Ah yes .. We took the Skye Bridge to leave and although very windy we weren't blown over the edge and made it back to the mainland where we scooted along towards Inverness and around Loch Ness ... Stunning roads, but littered with Traffic Police armed with Lasers !
We visited Fort George and the battlefields of  Culodden which by all accounts was a right bloody mess .. For The Jacobites at least. Reaching this very decent B+B around half 5 there was time to park the bikes in a secure garage, hang our kit up in the owners drying room, shower and head off to the pub .... again ! The local food,beer and hospitality was top drawer.
Just the one photo tonight .. to give you a little taste
Speak soon my friends .....

Great reports, sounds like some amazing riding, shame the weather isn't being a bit kinder to you. It's crap down south too, though Rusty if that helps.

Glad you spotted your bike sinking, before disaster struck.

Enjoy the rest of the trip, ride safe.

Yep, I'm looking forward to the rest of the reports too, glad you're both okay and that your super dooper GREEN bike is okay too Rusty

Well yet again it's the end of another busy day ... 261 of Her Majesties finest miles heading south from Loch Ness to Portpatrick.. It's been a really decent day on the weather front ,warmish but dry and sunny which has made up for the last 48 hrs !
There have been a lot of bikes heading North of all shapes and sizes and yet I haven't seen ANY Gtr's !
I am writing this soon after 10 in the evening ... It's still light outside and Steve went to bed ages ago ! This is truly a lovely lovely setting. Once again just a couple of photos .... Hope you are all well.



And this was the each about 25 miles North of here ... As you can see fine sand and almost deserted.

[Silverback]

Rusty,

Glad to see the weather has finally turned for you. Did you build any sand castles??
