Wedding Anniversary meal

Postby GRAgusta » Fri Jul 13, 2012 8:13 pm

We headed over to the West Coast for dinner at Achiltibuie, and a grand adventure on the bikes, even the sun shone eventually.

Main course ... thanfully there were six courses :D

Image

Apart from a short hold up on the way home the journey was great. Hold up was due to a lorry failing to negotiate a sharp bend .... but he took home the sign as a souvenir.

Image

Weather was super, on the whole.

No one upset the chef .... it was a froth apparently, but Jenny was happy with her adventure. :D

Looks like a cracking trip - and Jenny's Divvy looks quite funky too. :)

Anniversary congrats all round. 8)

Wow talk about in the middle of nowhere.
I've been up to Ullapool a few times, but never on the bike.
Bet the ride across country is a bit lively?!
Cheers and congrats to you both :)

Yamaha have done a good job on the styling of that Diversion :)

(not too sure about that dinner course, mind :? Looks a bit like the result of my cat eating too much...... :oops: )

I love Ullapool as a weekend destination - it has a bit of a buzz about it.

There's a good GS road north off the Achiltibuie road - through the Inverpolly nature reserve - to Lochinver.

Take your credit card if you visit the Lochinver Larder for anything more than directions :shock:

Al :D
If I am ever on life support - Unplug me......
Then plug me back in..........

See if that works ..... :?

The 600 divvy was a possible choice for my new company bike. Test rode it, but it felt too small for anything other than short haul work.
Ended up with a Honda Crossrunner which is now a week old/1000 miles.
Stonking bike. Does everything easily :)
