Dropped down the coast for our second week.. about half hour south of Oban at Melfort.. nice little set of holiday let's right on the shore of the loch. Talking of fishing, the father in law had

Some way up that is mate!! 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.

Just come back from a little trip doing what they call the North Coast 500 started in Inverness right up the A9 to Wick....across the other side to Durness,all down the West coast....Ullapool,Lochinve

Hello mate no we/i bottled it ?....there was 2 places we veered off the route and that was one of them,from Shieldaig we went across to Kalnikill as there was a little spot i wanted to find,then went down to Applecross from there and took the same route out to get back across to Inverness.....we bumped into a couple of biker chaps doing the route a few times who warned us against Bealach,they said we probably wouldnt enjoy it as its so stressful driving,and apparently there are far fewer passing places which considering i hate reversing this thing made the decision for me really !.....also the fact there is only 1 viewing area compared to the 3 or 4 on the way we went.....i mean whats the point if you cant stop to take it all in.

Ended up doing nearly 1600 miles in just shy of a week......it done me in to be quite honest but all good practise for the mighty Hammers tour of Europe coming up ?

Thanks for getting back chief. Yes, a very wise move you made there regarding dodging the Bealach.. and a pat on the back to the bikers for tipping you off. You saved yourself a ton of stress.. and to be totally honest the you didn't miss out on any views either.. like you said. You would have headed north from Applecross and pulled into the big layby on the left just before the road bends right towards Shielgaig. That's got to be one of the best view points in the UK I'd say. Looking out to the island of Rassay.. then Skye behind there, mountains and all... then the Outher Hebs (Lewis and Harris) right in the background!! Absolutely breathtaking! I didn't get a pic to do it justice. But it's all stored in the old memory bank!!

I did manage just the one pic of the Bealach though.. curtsey of my eldest daughter out of the back window.. I'd got my hands 'slightly' full!!

All the vehicles must be gridlocked to either side when the pic was taken...

I'm having a few bob on Cottee for the golden boot!!...lol..

Thankyou squire if i know my West Ham it'll be a short lived pleasure ?

I was genuinely stunned by the scenery ive seen parts of the Highlands and West Coast before but this was something else....normally im stopping every 2 minutes taking a thousand pictures only to get back home and delete 995 because they're nearly all the same so didnt bother this time just took a handful on the phone....typical !....yes the bikers were good lads,even headed me a chaperone through one awkward spot,good people for Jocks. 

Stunning place that i hope to see more of over the coming years......all the best :thumbs:
