Fort William and Aviemore
A short trip to Fort William in the 110 (345 miles)
Stopped on-route to change wiper blades as one split then the other. One swapped out side Halfords in Carlisle and then the other at Firkin point on Loch Lomond.
Onwards to Fort William via Green Wellie shop, Glen Coe.

Beautiful photo's Excossack.

Firkin Point that brings back memories, haven't seen it in the daylight, got lost going to Fort Bill years ago, pre S.H.M.B.O. and sat nav with the then girlfriend, we were moved on by the local law enforcement, which is probably a good thing, we were only trying to keep warm honest officer. Don't make old people mad.
We don't like being old in the first place,
so it doesn't take much to Censored us off.
