« on: 03 March 2010, 20:18:37 »
Just putting me feet up and watching TV here, working hard at the office  ::)

The A82 up Loch Lomond side is a good flowing, fast road but is usually very busy with traffic (usually tourist!).
It also has quite a reputation. Every weekend you read of some othe poor sod getting killed :(

Been on exercise around there and sailing mid last year too.

The roads there are stunning, but leathal!

Additionally if you stop for more than 1 second any small bit of flesh visible to the midges will be devoured.  You have been warned!

Although the cold snap will have killed more than usual  :y

Go a bit further North and try the road from Ullapool to Poolewe via gairloch. I did this on the back of a motorbike and have to say it was totally awesome. Turquoise pools and lily pads, not to mention the mountainous terrain  :y

Like any part of the country - thats the UK, by the way... - there are always areas that are brill and both not on and off the beaten track.

Loch Lomond is, by tourist definition, quite wonderfull but remember there are equally as many other roads that qualify for as outstanding a view as this with perhaps less traffic/headline attention??

And thats both north and south of the wall.....   ;)
