Looks "familiar" LOL. Fabulous empty wild roads although, looking at the whole vid the landscape is a bit stark and barren.

Spoiled by the presence of thd Devil's Capsules aka Portapotties! Maybe if you alter the dates the 'crowds' could be avoided? :-?


Personally, I have always had this desire to spend Mid-Summer at Ardnamurchan Lighthouse, the most western point on the mainland I think and its only as far 'up' as Fort William. Almost, just almost went up about 5 years ago with the idea to meet Wolfie off Bird who was camping up there for Mid-Summer but alas , my plans turned to shite in me 'ands, as they do lol
