NC 500 Scotlandshire

Theres a programme on the gogglebox about the North Coast 500 , Scotland and the Scottish Tourist Board's answer to Route 66. Its on BBC Alba and is still available for download.

You'll need subtitles on cos its in foreign. Cracking programme although I'm divided. Shoulda kept it quiet as every fooka including motorbikes, cyclists, caravanners, motorhomers and just fekkin cars now wants to "do it " A victim of its own popularity?

"A cracking programme"? rotfl

Potentially, yes, but ruined by poor camera work in even poorer weather -
no doubt hindered by a severely limited budget. Only watched the first one,
so hoping it gets better. Not seen anything (yet) that makes me want to go, though.
