Had a trip upto Applecross pass in Wester Ross with some mates and new found ones, after Lowland scoot last year decided to do a Highland one , had a cracking time and a few lovely lambrettas did as well. Had to take my spanish p2(Manuel!) As my ts1 nipped up a week earlier. The Applecross pass is one hell of a road and very akin to Hardknott etc with hairpins you can't take in any other gear than first!! Hope you enjoy the photo's :D

Pidgeon's scoot with a flat tyre and subsequent sheared hub stud, he had a spare hub and wheel so all good!
