Phase two of the 2 year Benz affair.

[st4]

2 weeks ago I washed, waxed my car with very impressive Colinte wax.

As the weather was nice today I deciced I wanted to go for a long drive in the car. So I did.

I left Helensburgh approx 11am. Drove up Loch Lomand, through Glencoe and onto Ft William. This road is legenedary and allowed for some lovely pics of Glen Coe for which I hope you enjoy.

From FT William I headed onto Spean Bridge, then to Newtwonmore which is in the Cairngorm National Park. I took some pics of Loch Laggan on the way and I beleive this is where "Monarch of the Glen" was filmed.

I then headed back much the way I came bar a section of the A9 so I could detour via Dalwhinnie, then back to the A86 to Ft William, then home.

Enjoy the pics.

Its probably some of the best scenery and driving roads in the world.

The weather was ok (rare) and the holiday season hasn't begun so an ideal chance for a "proper" drive which I grabbed

Superb day out as discussed earlier on the phone. Great pics.

There are so many superb areas of Scotland to discover - you can truly experience four seasons in a day if you are 'lucky'

Glen Coe is a lovely area, I've been there quite a few times myself and if there were any of my kind of engineering jobs I'd be there in a flash

Very envious!

Nice pics of a beautiful part of the country Steve. Looks like your car could use another wash now though!

Where was the hydro dam?

Hydro Dam is @ the bottom (SW) end of Loch Laggan. You are about 10 miles NE of Roy Bridge.

The "future Mrs ***" was @ work so went alone, we are off out after my work today which finishes at 4pm (and the 1st thing I've done @ work is logon here !!!)

The 211 made the 300mile journey so comfortable and it was good fun to drive, makes you appreciate the car and where I live so much more when you get the chance to get out and enjoy it.

Stunning scenery, thank you. With luck I shall be driving the same routes in May when I have a week touring the Highlands after a big wine bash in Glasgow.

Nice pics.. Love Scottish scenery - looking forward to my annual pilgrimage to Tongue & Durness....awesome area

 

[Palmball]

Great pictures there - you're lucky having that on your doorstep. In contrast I have....mmm....the M1 with what must be the longest 50mph 'average speed controlled' section in the UK!

A C63 really would have been fun for this trip, expensive fun mind you, but FUN!!!

You really should come up here and do some proper driving
