skyes the limit..

hello

just got back from a few days away on the isle of skye, roughly a 500 mile round trip, the weather setting of was pretty poor, cold and raining for the 220 miles or so from my location to skye, but managed a couple of pics en-route..

dunrobin castle [ near golspie - a stately home really ]

not far from skye bridge [ in the middle of the mist in the distance ]

all cleaned up for the journey back

on the way back towards dingwall

on the return journey i had a pillion passenger, but the bike wasn't phased at all, fuel wise the bike averaged 130 miles from full to reserve and i filled up 4 times [ from reserve to full ] and that was the same whether the bike was carrying two folk or just me, at the speeds i ride about at [ about 50mph ] it took 6 hours getting to skye, and about 7.5 hrs getting back [ but that was for the pillion passengers fag breaks ! ]

anyway, a decent ride out and pretty much empty roads..which was great..despite the weather
