Day 17 - John O’Groats to Ullapool
3 luglio 2023, Scozia ⋅ 🌧 12 °C
We slept in this morning and had breakfast before setting off. We resisted the full cooked English breakfast and settled for the continental option. Our first stop on our drive was at Dunnet Head. It is the northernmost point of mainland Great Britain and has beautiful natural beauty, rugged cliffs and stunning ocean views.

The weather was wet all day, worse than yesterday. Add in single lane roads with passing areas, then we needed to be extremely careful of oncoming traffic and negotiate a way past. There were a lot of campervans on the road today, with the majority having a European registration. Nevertheless, it was a busy road, and passing was challenging.

The northwest of Scotland is renowned for its dramatic and stunning scenery. From rugged coastlines to rolling hills, there is no shortage of natural beauty. The lochs, mountains and coastline are just magnificent. With the inclement weather, the clouds obscured some of the mountaintops. If it was this cold and wet in summer, I would not want to be here in winter.Leggi altro

Day 18 - Ullapool to Fort Augustus
4 luglio 2023, Scozia ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C
We had sufficient respite from the rain today to drive all afternoon with roof down. It remained overcast but quite mild for our drive.

From Ullapool, we continued on the North Coast 500 route, staying close to the western coast of Scotland. One of the most iconic features of the western coast of Scotland is its many islands, including the popular destinations like the Isles of Skye, Mull, and Islay. Though we won't be visiting any of these islands, we could get a beautiful view of them from the mainland coast.

We found a nice cafe in Applecross for lunch, where we enjoyed the soup of the day with some antipasto and salad. From Applecross, we drove up and over the Applecross Pass. It is known for its scenic beauty and challenging driving conditions. The pass is situated in the Applecross peninsula and connects the villages of Applecross and Shieldaig.

The road through Applecross Pass is narrow and winding, with steep gradients and hairpin bends. It offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains and the Isle of Skye in the distance. Its breathtaking scenery and challenging road make it a memorable experience for our trip.Leggi altro
