Excellent diary and piccies,thanks for that.
Pics 25+26 are the Moray Firth,the next 4 are the Cromarty Firth On your first shot of the Dornoch Firth,the buildings you can see in the distance above your meerkats(?) head is one of our daily collection points,to pick up mussels.
I must have been just a couple of hours in front of you on the Thursday.Got held at the Newtonmore snowgates for a wee while,then the police came along taking trucks out of the queue and allowing them down the A9.That made for a lot of pee’d off car and van drivers 
Never known them do that before. Heard a bit later on the radio that the road was closed overnight and well into Friday.Had to go back from Glasgow to Inverness via Aberdeen 
great pics and diary, thanks for taking the time to post it.
i’ve only been up that way once myself, delivreing water pipes to evanton. it was a fantastic drive and as i crossed the cromarty firth it was as still as a mill pond! absolutely beautiful. 
Just added a few more pictures so it’s well an truly finished
Thanks for the diary mate! I’ve only managed to get up there in the car but I’d recommend it to anyone, wonderful drive. I liked your comment about grid lock highland style!
just received a email with a link to this one and maybe he wants to put it in a gallery 
or maybe it’s someone havin a laff
either way no worries still enjoyed doing it 
Good read and nice pics.
But wait
pictures taken using camera on fixed dash board bracket and remote button
I believe you but thousands wouldn’t, especially taking another look at the pics.

Anything to appease the OMFGZ YOU IZ GONNA CRASH TAKING PIX WHILE DRIVING!!! do-gooders.
fantastic pics and texts…a seemingly well educated trucker, can this be true!
Cant see any pics of you though 
Rob K:
:lol:Anything to appease the OMFGZ YOU IZ GONNA CRASH TAKING PIX WHILE DRIVING!!! do-gooders.
must have been either the movable dash (as said) or camera was on a bendy stick, so long ago i can’t remember
but ho hum who bloody cares
Excellent diary and pics, enjoyed that but WTF is a mearcat doing standing on top of a forklift at the side of the road in scotland 
it took me an embarrassingly 
long amount of time to realize that its probably on your dash waht time specsavers close today
think those bendy arms that hold the camera’s are a great idea
in 20 years, i hv managed most of europe, but no further north than glasgow. would like to get up there on a trip like that, and have a nose around.
even looked into doing a driving holiday up there in my old m5, but when i worked out the fuel costs, etc, from essex, it was just plain bonkers. could be 1 for the future, fly up, and hire a half decent car for a road trip 
Interesting post Well done.
It in a way reminded me of the longest drive I did in the UK. When I worked on the motor show / promotional transport I did a weekend show in Inverness, dismantled the xhibition on monday with help from and agency slave and drove from Inverness to Stithians in Cornwall for the next show. I left tuesday morning and arrived on site friday night … We always took our time running between shows so we could stop for the night at good hotels and pubs Buit the display etc on saturday, no work was allowed on site during sundays, show on monday, then strip down tuesday and head home to Oxford.

Jeez Pat from one extreme to the other when you moved stateside…4 days from Inverness to Cornwall… …dragging the job out or what
