Not really used to the fisheye lens yet so not that many “good” shots.

Also trying out the new Guttenburg editor here.

1400 miles = North Coast 500 – Done

After driving a portion of the route last year – we decided to do the full thing this year. We ended up not doing the full route but doing lots of extras.

We decided to do it in a leisurely fashion, without any huge mileage days and trying to stay in the same place for a couple of days to prevent the constant packing and unpacking.

We decided to do the route in a clockwise direction: North up the west coast, East along the north coast and South along the east coast. We skipped the portion from Inverness West to the west coast – we did this last year and replaced it with a tour of Skye.

One of my aims from this holiday was to perfect my photography technique for landscape panoramas – you have been warned!

North Coast 500 – NC500 – Day 11 – Inverness To Home

On previous Inverness trips we have visited Nairn and loved it but we had never don further east. We rectified it this time by heading for Elgin. From here we headed down Speyside (scouting for another roadtrip ….) before hitting Aviemore then home.

I have just realised that I have not finished processing all my photos (~3000 in total) so I’ll update this post soon !

North Coast 500 – NC500 – Day 10 – The East Coast

The Pennyland House B&B gave me probably the best sleep of the trip, there was nothing wrong with the previous accommodation but the beds here were SO comfortable. Another fantastic breakfast set us up for a long day’s driving.

This was the leg of the journey that I enjoyed least, I’m not sure if it was because it was on “proper” roads or if it was just not as spectacular as the previous week ….

We headed south to Wick, had a wander around then hit the road to our lunch stop at Dunrobin Castle and gardens.

We then had just a number of little stops to break up the remainder of the journey including Loch Fleet

Dornoch and Tain – both of these are also on the list for a re-visit.

The final overnight stop for us and the end of the “official” North Coast 500 route was in Inverness. For us it was the Ballifeary Guest House. Inverness is an old stomping ground for as as we are veterans of the marathon but a new discovery there; The Malt Room did mean it was a late night for us!
