E30 Zone

Here's my selection of pics from the zone "Hoon"..560 mile round trip through some of the very best and most challenging roads in scotland and some fantastic photo ops..








the "cattle road" to Applecross ascends to 2060 feet in 4 miles or something like that..i was a bit nervous as we started this after reading the big warning sign at the bottom, and the old B20 overheated a bit half way up Dave will have you believe thats because i was going too slow, but really i think i was pushing too hard




heres what happens when you run out of talent..



unlucky eh?...NO he was very lucky indeed..



he could have so easily been down that bank and into the house..the back seat was loaded with empty bottles of champagne ^o)

best pic of the trip..








a rare picture of me LOL



few more of the backdrops, that i couldnt fit the car in properly

OK then, here's my meagre offerings

oops

that e36 driver was damn lucky

looking good though, as I have already said, shame I couldn't do it this time around.

Brings back a few memories,did you pop into the FBI at Ullapool and see if the entertainment is still on?

Didn't pop into the FBI Malcolm

Great pics guys!

barstewards! Wish I'd been able to go-looks amazing,

as for the 36, a reminder that RWD can be interesting on single track roads in the wet...

Me too!
And we are not going this way next April,either!
At least that E36 died fighting....
Neil,can we get to Lindisfarne..Holy Island?

Makes me wish I lived in scotland! 560 miles in one day or did you stay over somewhere? Great pics, another E36 driver gets surprised by RWD, LOL.

We stayed in Ft William on the Friday night before heading off and overnighted in Ullapool on the Saturday before heading to Aviemore, then home on the sunday.

The causeway over to the island is a great road, Malcolm (so long as you avoid the patches of sand that hasn't washed off the road when the tide has went out)

Have you driven it?
