The G Man Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 As some of you may be aware, I recently went on a wee road trip There was me, my Mrs and my friend and his Mrs in their RX8. We started in Oban and had an Island Hopper ticket with Cal Mac ferries, cost was £189 for car and two adults. For this we had a ferry crossing from Oban to Barra, Barra to Eriskay, North Uist to South Harris and Stornaway in Lewis to Ullapool Wester Ross on the mainland. The timings were pre-booked and were to allow touring before departure. We did around 800 miles in total, including the drive to Oban. Hotels and accommodation were difficult to book as we left it a bit late but the ones we got were superb. The food was superb except when we had an Indian meal, that was rank! The seafood is superb, and I can recommend Hebridean Smoked Salmon from South Uist, http://www.hebrideansmokehouse.com/cate ... _Sea_Trout. The beaches are the cleanest and biggest I've ever seen and you are guaranteed an empty one Anyway here are a few photo's Quote
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Did your other sticker not arrive bud ? Lovely pics, I might sound daft here but was that a plane wreck on the beach and was it to do with the plackard... if im being a mong just tell me Quote
Neilp Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Loving the pics G! I was sitting looking and saying, " I can't believe they neve had any wine..." And then I spied Dougie with wine glass looks awesome mate! Wish I was with you's Quote
oedo Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Looks like a great trip, really enjoyed the pictures. I've done a similar journey many years ago but was lucky enough to do it by boat, island hopping up the west coast and outer hebrides. I couldn't see it clearly but is the RX8 from Oban? I've seen a red one around Oban before all stickered up LeMan style... Quote
The G Man Posted May 20, 2011 Author Posted May 20, 2011 Chris it did arrive mate, on the morning of our departure, just didn't get the opportunity to get it on mate Ah Neil, now you know we like a tipple, one glass with our picnic of smoked salmon, scallops, salmon pate and oatcakes on Husinish beach Oedo, it is from Oban , well Seil actually, my mate Dougie's and you would see it round loads Quote

bronzee Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 What a stunning trip. Some lovely pics there. I hope that seagull didn't leave a deposit. Some great pics and scenery there, and some of the roads look an interesting drive Just what I was thinking. Can almost imagine a horse and cart cruising along there a few hundred years ago in the muck. Quote
