NC500 - 993

Post by Tp81 »

Some of the pictures from my run North with friends at the end of September. Probably the best trip I have done in my car, I usually tend to just go away for one night and then the next day is all about getting home. This time round the Saturday was just about driving, what a difference that made. Loads of laughs and good memories.

Glasgow to Shieldaig via the Applecross, Shieldaig to Tongue, Tongue to Lairg and onto the old military road and down through Glenshee. 800 miles or so.

This was the start of a 37 mile stretch of single track road. Awesome.

It looks wonderful. Great photos.
I would go back at the drop of a hat if it wasn't for the boring all day drive up to Scotland from London.

Tom,
Great pics as usual. Looks a fabulous drive.
How did you find the 993 compared with your companions' more modern machinery?
Cheers, Richard.
