Scotland trip pics and video.

A fantastic week in Scotland, staying in Fort Augustus.
A rare sighting of another Crossrunner, spotted on the A82 south of Fort Augustus. Guy named Paul. I don't know if he's on the forum.
Near Mallaig:
Start of the Applecross pass:
Parked at B&B:
At the green Welly on the way home, the Police were all over the place as the Olympic Torch was about to pass through:
Applecross after going over the pass:

I love the video of Bealach na Ba (the pass to applecross) I did it on a Pan ST1300 but I'm sure that the CR was far more suitable
I'm glad that your trip up there was as good as the one I took a couple of weeks ago

We had amazing weather, while the rest of the coutry was drowning, all I had was 1 hour of rain on the return from a loop of Skye. The rest of the week was mostly overcast, perfect biking weather dry roads and cool enough not to feel uncomfortable when stopped and warm enough that I didn't need extra layers to keep warm.
You can see how calm most days were from the pic of Loch Ness, perfect mirror surface :-)

I was in the garage at Fort Augustus and thought I saw a white CR ride past
, then passed you in the layby on A82. Didn't stop as was leading a group and by the time I saw you it was too late to make them all do an emergency stop
1st time I've seen a CR on the road, wihout a prearranged meeting

After getting to the top we carried on over the other side, downhill hairpin
, to the pub at Applecross. Then headed north for a loop round on some really interesting singletrack
