Left my place at 2am with the wife. The long drive from Haywards Heath to Inverness took nearly 12 hours (first time i've done it in the 182 - the 197 came up here three times in all), and here are a couple of pics of the awesome parts:

Loads more driving to be done over the next two weeks, bought the telescope too for the super clear skies for viewing :wink:
 
Looks stunning. Me and the girlfriend usually go up to Torridon/Ullapool area once a year, usually around Easter or late September as the weather tends to be better - and no snow on the road!

There was one occasion it snowed overnight and we ventured out for sunrise at Loch Torridon... I really wish I had S&M tyres as the road down Glenn Torridon (single track, large ditches either side) was not nice to navigate in the pitch black!

When the snow tops the mountains though, Scotland's one of the most beautiful places in the world. Totally worth the lengthy drive up there.
 
Stunning photos ! My next road trip will be up to Scotland hopefully. The 3rd and 4th pictures look so good with the mountains in the background. Have fun!!
 
Couple more pics for you :smile:

Whilst in Scotland, eat as all the locals do :wink:
