Well since as we aren't doing it today and the weather is foul I thought I'd do an imaginary one....
Target time sub 3 days!!
Day 1

The start....Seems to be a bunch of other people doing it too. Soon burn them off!

Correct! See ya later suckers!

First dodgy river crossing, time to dry me feet. Oops on the wrong route!

Thats better, first dodgy river crossing = no probs

Sun shine! Ben Alder approaching

The end of the road....

Fine view, fine trail

Quick diversion to the old route for another nice view

Snaw!

Quick snack for lunch

Spooky ruin

The view north, we'll be up there in a bit.

Afternoon sun

Murky and boggy, just how we like it

Luxury digs, some other bugger seems to have beaten me to it though!

Day 2

Early morning nadge-core

Brekkers in Ullapool then get stuck into the new bit

Yer 'aving a laugh Alan!

Thats more like it

Always time for a swim

That view, that trail

Stuff the cowsh*t bog, I'm doing the postie path. Hello Torridon, be there in a bit

Good choice

Decided to go the long way round Torridon. This looks affy steep!

Good view from the top though

Big scary mountains

Sun going down, better get some shut eye. Just need a bivvy spot now...

That'll do nicely

Hello Ben Nevis

Goodbye Ben Nevis, getting dark now better get me skates on!

Good morning devils staircase. Hmm more snaw!

I see you had the same pizza on the way back as the way out, must be your favourite

2015 Group start. I sensibly order a vege pizza as I figure it will be the best thing to scoff after 11 hours on the bike. Alan G who is vege anyway takes one look and orders the same. A certain David Barter orders the seafood pizza and instantly regrets it when it arrives, eats it then spends the next day regretting it further..... Been my goto ever since. Irn Bru will drag you back from the worst low you can possibly imagine.....

Thanks for the journey great pics I'll remember that about the pizza choice . when we get out properly.
