When thinking of an iconic road trip, one immediately thinks of exotic far flung places. Route 66 in America, Italy’s Amalfi Coast, or even Argentina’s Ruta 40.
Day 12 – Today we continue on leg two of Scotland’s famous and much loved (especially by MOHOmers) CN500. A five hundred mile round trip that circumnavigates this rugged highland region. Starting and ending in Inverness.
We end the day pitched up at Bettyhill on the north coast, at Craigdhu Caravan Site. This east to west hilly section brings back many memories for Mr S and his LeJog cycle ride. He’s surprised at how busy the road seems today in comparison, until Mrs S reminds him that LeJog was during Covid!
Our journey so far . . .
Day 13 – With diesel pump prices hovering around the £2 per litre mark, it’s likely that the biggest expense on this trip will be fuel. For the first time ever, Beastie swallows over £100 on one fill.
The scenery along this 160k leg is stunning. Best to let the photos and video say it all.
Seven minutes from today’s glorious leg . . . with a reminder of how quickly the weather can change.
We end the day pitched up on the remote Shore Caravan Site at Achmelvich, north of Lochinver.
Glasgow – Mum claimed it used to be a workhouse! My sister was earlier born in Barnet General Hospital … and that used to be a workhouse too!
Good to know you have more than your mum in common with your sister
Wednesday 23rd. AT LONG LAST a moment to sit back and enjoy all this. I came back from hols last Friday and I have been flat out ever since … well ‘flat out’ for this old codger!
I have always wanted to see this part of Scotland [the country of my birth don’t forget]. It looks great. One day day perhaps.
Time to invest in a campervan Rog ? Remind me, which part of Scotland you were born?
