Day 13 - Part 1 - To Lockerbie

Road trip - day 13 - Skye to Lockerbie. Set of soon after 0840 as it was a long drive (turned out to be even longer - see below). All was going well until we reached FortWilliam and discovered the A82 was closed due to an accident just South of Glencoe. This caused 2 problems (1) we couldn’t visit the Glen Etive valley which featured in James Bond’s “Skyfall” and (2) we had to do a big detour adding 30 miles and an extra hour on the trip. Apart from that the trip was fine and we arrived at Lockerbie at 1600 and visited the plane crash memorial. We then checked into our fabulous B&B. Footnote: when I did the NC500 in May 2018 the A82 was also shut and I had to do a detour. So I’ve only ever driven the A82 twice and both times I couldn’t drive all of it!Read more
