|
| With the last Friday shot in the can, we headed off along the A86 and A87 for a few hours rest at Kyle of Lochalsh. Boredom lead to many things including a slideshow of the days photographs neatly perched on the dash board of my car for all to enjoy! | |

|
| | |
|
| Now free of the stock the pair move forward to clear the points |
|
| We left the tour before it departed Kyle and headed east driving until the sun came up. We found sunlight when we found Achnasheen | |
|
