A wonderful drive from Scourie to Tongue (yup, how cool is that and it’s at th mouth of the sea!). Maximum speeds of 30mph through the single track roads up via Durness and Europe’s largest live bombing range, you could hear the booms every few seconds Read this

Mrs Fogg even found the “worlds best chocolate drink” shop which we had to hike a mile to. Also en-route was the Smoo Cavern, a funky waterfall that has turned a cave into a very wet cavern

Oh and while emptying the “crapper” this morning, which involves opening the side of the camper, removing a 20litre full cassette and wheeling it to the chemical waste point (a bloody big hole in the ground), as I emptied it the process went into slo-mo as one wheel and axle dropped off and slipped into the slime, never to be seen again! you couldn’t make it up. Do I stick my hands in to retrieve it, err not a cat in hells chance!

Travelling from Ardmair after a gusty wet and chilly night onwards then via Lochinver

And tonight we will mostly isolated here

Lovely drive today up and down the highlands to the windiest point so far. Ardmair Point is on a windy headland and it’s sideways rain howling at us.

We stopped at Mungasdale bay to wander along the pretty beach and to use Mr Foggs giant binoculars.

We visited the Falls of Measach today at the Corrieshalloch Gorge National Nature Reserve. At 160ft falls the water plunged a mile long down through the gorge. Very spectacular and especially so after all the rain

Now we are chilling in the warm camper watching the rain

It’s official! We joined the North Coast 500 today at Loch Carron and experienced very narrow single track roads, grumpy locals (darn tourists driving oversized motor homes on my lanes….) and incredible scenery. 24 miles of a single track road heading up and over mountains, through highland bogs and down through scenic glens is what the NC500 is all about.

Breathtaking scenery and our final stop for the night is tiny seaside Gairloch. Our caravan site is right on the hillside overlooking the sea inlet. We’ve just sat watching the stars come out in the still and peaceful night.

Next stop will be Ullapool. 67 miles away and more single track roads methinks. Mr Foggs turn to drive this time. And these are the A roads. Wait till we try a B road.

A trip from Glencoe across to Eilean Donan via Fort William and of course the chance to scale Ben Nevis

But then to Eilean Donan Castle and the chance for Mrs Fogg to visit the set of her favouritist film of all time ever, Highlander, there can be only one. Oh yeh and the last snowball!

Here in the campsite, a chance to BBQ and meet fellow travellers who have just hired a camper van without a clue that it needs water onboard to shower and cook, or electric to power it. Oh boy. As Mrs Fogg sits with Highlander on the iPad in preparation for the castle tour tomorrow. (Hogg Heaven eh Mrs Fogg).

A relaxing evening in between rain showers and now a rise up in the mist ready for the journey to Eilean Donan Castle (for those of you not in the know this is the castle featured in Mrs Foggs favourite movie of all time ever, Highlander, well there can be only one!)

What’s not to like? Fresh air, beautiful scenery and wonderful company. Oh, wait, unless your hubby dislikes walking! Darn. Beautiful location in Glencoe. Even the heavy rain stopped briefly

Nope I don’t get the joy of hiking for 5 miles in the pouring rain, trudging through mud to look at a man made lake, to then hike all the way back to another point to take another picture of the same man made lake. Oh well if that floats yer boat Mrs Fogg!

Sat on the edge of the Loch in Mabel, time to empty the poop cassette, boy do I get all the fun jobs!

Been tiddling down all night long, but we have heating, cooking facilities, a satellite TV (yup) and wine. Awesome break with my little planning monkey
