[Leica] Highlands PAW 05

[John McMaster]

Sold the 4x4 in NZ five years ago :-(  SLK 2.5 diesel, pokey enough with acceptable fuel consumption....  It has some traction control, wasn't able to provoke it much on gravel or wet roads ;-)

Magnificent landscapes there, John. And there I was thinking you were a 
4wd man, and I see a Merc - plenty of fun taking rwd on those roads. SLK 
2 litre?

Mostly to do them before they become un-drivable with tourists (and midges) as I probably did nearly half that mileage on single track roads including the pass over Bealach na Bà (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bealach_na_B%C3%A0) .....   So I went over the north to Durness and down to Ullapool, staying just south of for a night.  Then Gairloch and Applecross coastal routes to Skye, up around Duntulm peninsula and spent the night in Greshornish.  Finally back along southern Skye road and as weather was bad (I had the roof up!) went down the side of Loch Ness to Inverness and home, part of the way through falling snow.   Got some strange looks driving with the roof down at this time of year ;-)
