My wife on the river which goes through the campsite



On our way to the Isle of Skye.We took the little ferry near Glenelg which brings you to the rollercoaster




Start of the "Rollercoaster"



Wet Skye



Skye ride about




We where lucky that we had the use of a cabin for cooking(and drinking ::))

Supply table



Cooking corner



we tried cooking outdoors but where eaten alive by the midges



Leaving Skye the world was good again



Had to do a Photo stop here



Ullapool Campsite was a bit windy but the views are stunning.Situated on a loch you can watch the ferry come in twice a day







next day was one of my best riding days ever

Ullapool-Lochinver-Kylesku-Ullapool

i promise this is Scotland




back in camp.I love cooking for my mates. I used to be a chef(Carlton and Joburg Sun,when it was still a 5star)



Leaving the pub at 00:30,still a bit of light



My mate found his new tent :biggrin:



Scotland says good bye



On the way home we stayed again at Takoda camping in Yorkshire.My mate from Holland took the Ferry from Newcastle so we spend a extra day with him to show him a bit of Yorkshire and the Lake disrtict
