Gunver and I stayed in Scotland after the NG meeting, vent to Inverness.
After Davids suggestion we took General Wade's Military Road back down along Loch Ness, as yesterday the weather was not good, so we hurried away to Inverness.
Today we got lots of clouds, and less traffic than on the highway to Tillburg ;) We had cows and sheep on the road instead.
It is a slow road, but very scenic, thank you for the suggestion David.
I can't upload the picture :(

Bent: Apparently, any posting issue has sorted itself?

Well my plans to continue up the NW coast fell apart.  As I was driving over to Applecross over the Bealach na Bà pass as I reached the higher hairpin bends I was baulked by traffic and the clutch began slipping very badly, I nearly didn't make it to the top.  Reaching Applecross I decided the sensible option was to break for home, rather than going into areas I was unfamiliar with in a dodgy car, on my own.

I left Applecross at noon and arrived home at 3am this morning, having nursed the clutch all the way.  Spent most of the day in bed, catching up.  My plan for a leisurely exploration went up in smoke!

I think I may have some photo's from the drive before the clutch went.

Sorry to hear about the clutch, Robert. No way to wind up an exciting week. Are you going to replace the slippery disc yourself?

Gunver: In your nice pictures it is clearly to be seen that this kind of weather is much better photographically. Lucky you. And you got the VW GOLF in the same rental category I got the ASTRA .... "Huyundai i30 or equivalent" ... I wold have been so happy with  the Huyundai or theVW but I got a furking OPEL!

Yes, been watching You Tube videos all afternoon.  :(

I've done a few modern FWD clutches, seems there's nothing too difficult with this one I don't think and I have all the gear, tools, etc.  It's driving OK again at present (I couldn't make it slip when I went out earlier.) but it will have to be done or the flywheel will suffer.  Darned nuisance, have plenty to do without fixing cars up.

On my way home my biggest worry was  getting up Glen Coe, it's quite steep towards the top.  I took it easy in second gear and managed OK.  The road had been cleared by an Aston Martin, two Ferraris and a very fast/powerful Toyota! I just followed them up in their wake.  They sounded very nice,  ;D  the sound of their exhausts echoing across the Glen.  I didn't fill up before Glen Coe to minimise the weight, however I forgot to top up in Tyndrum and consequently almost ran out of fuel on the motorway... It's a long way between services on the M74.
