The Satin Sisters Scottish Adventure
Well as a few of you know I'm going to moving away from home for 12 months. So as a sort of send off me and my mate booked a few nights in hotels and decided to go ona roundtrip. We did the grand tours P.E.N.I.S 287, the 2017 highland tour route and came home via Glencoe.
Day1 - consisted of an early start and the trek up to inverness for the starting point. From inverness we headed north towards Golspie before heading east to cut across the north and the scenery was stunning. We went all the way up to Durness before turning and heading down to ullapool for the 1st night. Where a delicious indian was enjoyed.
Day 2 - we set off from ullapool and followed the highland tour route and the road and views were just as breathtaking as I had remembered. Unfortunately the weather wasnt quite as nice as it was 2 years ago so the magnitude of belach na bah was lost a little. But we had excellent food in the applecross in as unfortunately the walled garden was booked for a function. From applecross we made our way to fortwilliam hugging the coast as much as possible and had a bot of fun with a Cooper S on the way.
Day 3 - we set off for glenfinnan to see the viaduct. I was thoroughly unimpressed by it. But the roads out of glenfinnan on the way to malaig I couldn't help but feel like I was playing Horizon 4 IRL. We then headed to glen etive to get the skyfall picture something I've wanted to do for years and it didn't disappoint the valley is beautiful the road is a bit sketchy at times the suspension definitely got a work out on some of the compressions. Very glad the car isn't lowered hahahah. After glen etive we set the sat nav for home carving through glen Coe to pitlochry and stopped at dundee for a nandos before completing the final leg
734 miles in 3 days on 2 tanks of fuel. Average mpg of 35.5
The 2 cars performed faultlessly. The only breakdown being my sticky number plate pads giving up the ghost.
But anyone who has contemplated doing the NC500 or P.E.N.I.S 287 do it. You wont regret it.
