But it was a good trip up some of the good driving roads in the west coast. My friend came through from Edinburgh to experience motoring heaven. Starting @ Helensburgh we worked our way along the A82, up over the rest and bethankful pass (A83) to Inverrary.
From there we headed over to Dalmally (A819) then joining the A85 to Tyndrum, over through Glen coe on the A82 and taking a wee detour and going by Loch Leven. This is well worth doing as the twists and turns are excellent and the Focus's handling came into its own.
From here we went upto Fr William and then onto (A830) Mallaig but the weather was sh**. It must be said the improvements to this road are considerable and its nice to see ones taxes doing something useful
.
We decided back at Ft William to head upto the "nevis range" and jump on the cable car and take in some views. Then it was back to Helensburgh but going by Connell (old scumbag territory).
The Focus was a 1.6TDCi Zetec and although I was a passanger it was a very nice way to spend 7hrs on the road. No back ache, refineded and frugal with good handling. Anyone in the market for a midsized family car should give this car a good look.
