the wonderful wet west coast, it gets x3 the rain that the east gets, enjoy though, you might get lucky, Applecross is beautiful, and the drive to it over the mountain is somethin else

If you fancy driving another 300 miles up the coast you can join me on the Applecross peninsula for a ride !

Great pictures of Golspie, was up there last week, some of those damp slimy rocky bits were beyond my skills but a great trail and a wonderful part of the world. Did you "Chopper" do Balblair/Carbisdale trails along at Bonar Bridge we were going to but decided instead of packing the bikes up after doing the full Black and having a great bowl of home-made soup at the Coffee Bothy to do the Red again and a bit of the Blue.
