East to West/West to East
Just a recommendation for anybody planning a trip up to Scotland and likes:
1. Single track roads. 2. Hills/mountains 3. lochs. 4. Being Alone. 5. To stay away from tacky touristy things (John O Groats). 6. To take their time and take in the scenery. 7. Dodging sheep and their droppings. Try Helmsdale East coast to Laxford Bridge West Coast. For those who like road numbers: Helmsdale A897 - B871 (Syre) - B873 (Altnaharra) - A836 (towarda Lairg) - A838 Laxford Bridge. I forgot to turn left onto the B871 and ended up on the North coast at Melvich where after repairing a puncture for a couple of French tourists I turned tail back onto the route. Like a lot of places - for best results do it on a nice day. In rain and mist with no view........ well .....stay in with a dram. I didn't take many photos for a change -too busy just looking.
