I achieved what I set out to do making our way over to Applecross and back down to Lochcarron and over to Achnasheen en route to Dingwall. The scenery on this chosen route was the wildest it could get. Heard some wonderful weather and history tales from locals on the few stops we had before reaching Applecross. Enjoyed a good fish & chip lunch with a pint of brown ness at the one pub in this area. Little did I know the route now would become more scary, the wind was so strong that waterfalls were captured in a U where the strength of the wind was blowing the water back up. It was also raining as hard as you can imagine but there was no need to use the wipers as again the wind was creating a horizontal rain pattern. I was unable to open the car door so sadly no photographs of this extraordinary event.
The weather returned to sun and blue sky again once lower down. A fantastic experience of the Highlands.
And what an evening. Louise and Clive were on holiday driving from Lands End to John O Groats in their rare MG booking into the Tulloch as a late birthday treat for me and Clive. Lulu had also arranged a birthday cake with the hotel. It was just surreal meeting them like this. It was a great evening.
