    Applecross in September

    Today the Mountie, me and a pal of the Mountie went for a little ride to Applecross. Luverly day, with persistent rain from home to the other side of Inverness (Achnasheen to be exact). The afternoon was fine, with the sun only occasionally obscured by rain and hail showers.


    When we got to the view point on the top of Applecross, the Mountie decided it would be a good idea if we went a little higher . . . to the phone mast and beyond.



    The view from the top . . . . in between hail showers of course!


    Small problem with the Venom exhaust on the Mountie's steed - it kept working loose. Ended up re-securing it 3 times. This fix point was Shieldaig, in the sun .

    All in all a luverly day out in some really scenic places on some really empty and twisty roads.

    Must do it again before the snow settles.

    I went walking up aviemore today just south of innverness and it was snowing like hell on the top, didnt expect it at all.

    Having drove up today i dont think it will be long before i get the bike out upthere cos the roads look the job.

    might have to meet up some time mate.

    This one of me and Paul settling our nerves having followed the Mountie up the hill.


    The view down from the phone mast . . . . only for the brave!

    Bazza,

    Look forward to meeting up. Could sort out a run south from here and meet you half way - say Blairgowrie or Pitlochry?

    The Mountie and I are planning another little run this week once some domestics are complete. You free at all during the week?

    I'll keep you in mind when I sort a end of riding season ride out for us up north. It'll be no later than mid October due to lighted hours reducing rapidly.

    TTFN,

    Steve T
