Nice that it's that just that bit out of the way and therefore not too busy at all. We drove up by Kinlochewe to Gairloch. Had picnic on the beach there, then into Gairloch itself for a cuppa and some cake to was the picnic down.. lol. Then from there did the 12 miles upto Firemore. Weather was kind to us even though they'd forcast showers. Absolutely stunning place isn't it.. Came back via the A897.. Kinlochewe to Torridon road.. absolutely amazing scenery along there.. looked proper dramatic with the clouds coming off the mountain tops!! Thanks again for the pointers... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And the memory building with the kids.. they'll probably bring their kids back to Firemore.. just like you did.. lol!! It's fairly busy on the roads up here to say the least righ now.. being the summer holls and that coupled with NC500 boom that's going on.. every type of vehicle you can image on the roads today.. cycles.. motorbikes with side cars.. campers, caravans.. kitted out old busses and everything in between!! Loads of wild camping too in some cracking spots. I keep working on the Mrs but she ain't having any of that just yet!! Lol.. Another beach pic!!

We're moving south for our second week on Saturday. Staying on the shore of Loch Melfort. The father in law has brought a few rods along so we'll see what comes of it. It's a shame he can't make it down the steep banking here to get on Lochcarron.. lovely little secluded bay just opposite the cottage, he could have it all to himself. I spent an hour down there late the other evening watching an Otter.. pure bliss! just wish I'd taken a couple of cans down with me!, lol.. Beats being sat in the cottage watching embarrassing bodies or some other such shite!! 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
