Just waiting for the weather to drop a bit in Gairloch, it's a wee bit mad right now!

Cracking weekend, ADV Scotlands 1st use of the Barrow campsite near Nairn.
Here are a few views at sunrise on Saturday . . . after a rather windy night
Took a few souls out for a bimble around the Gairloch loop, with the first stop being the viewpoint at the head of Glen Docherty . . .
We popped down to the Slatterdale car park on the side of Loch Maree, just to take in the view after an enjoyable ride alongside the loch – no picture taken.
We then headed to the Atlantic Convoy memorial, through a rather heavy downpour that was being pushed along by a very strong cross wind . . .
After taking on some warming fluids at Gairloch we carried on towards Ullapool, stopping at the Loch Broom viewpoint . . .
Took the “normal” road back to Inverness and then onto Nairn and the campsite. Not a long days riding all in all but the weather at times made it a challenge.
Cracking short weekend camping with new faces and some old (some REALLY OLD).
Great to see nearly all that put their names down attending.
Barrow site gets a triple thumbs up from me

Thanks for a crackin' weekend guys, looking forward to seeing everyone again soon.... J. 👍😁

The forecast was bad on Friday so I left after work on Thursday and had a awesome ride up arriving at 6pm
Friday morning was nice and some shopping was done and a short rideout was started until I saw the weather was changing so hightailed it back to the campsite.
20mins later the hurricane started..... .

Transalp hiding
Tipi ripped alite but still standing
Brave lads arriving
Saturday I was off to Inverness to visit Go Outdoors for a backup sleeping bag or something.
Then a little trip , Connon Bridge and up the A9 to Brora for a coffee and do a little bit of exploring.
A huge amount of roads to explore up that way so only scratched the surface.
Back via Bonar Bridge
And took the back road into Inverness again and had a little drive around the city .
Back to Nairn for an early supper (pizza from Lorenzo's) on the high street and did a delivery to the bothy for myself.
Awesome sunrise over the campsite on Sunday Morning .
Heading home joined Steve , John and Bob to East Grantown Railway Cafe , Highly recommended .
Had a awesome ride back via Tomintoul towards Aberdeen.
Brilliant weekend
Thanks for everyone who showed up despite the weather.
To the campsite for being very accommodating , to the lads who helped make sure the place was spotless when we left.
And all the help I had organising the weekend , looking forward to the next one at Barrow Campsite in the Spring
