Ullapool 2012 - Even More Pictures

the jetty and the terminal for the ferry at ullapool
The ferry terminal and loading jetty at Ullapool for the Stornoway Ferry.

 

a small dog standing on the deck of a trawler at ullapool harbour
This small fella was defending his master's trawler with all his energy.  I did worry he'd fall into the water.

 

white rocks going into the clear waters of loch broom
 The water is so clear! IW's done some diving here in the past, he says this area is perfect.

 

me in a daft outfit and the anti midge head net
Sexy beast or what...  Notes - headnet to keep midges out, tucked into jumper, tucked into pants, tucked into socks.  Gloves and boots also required.  It keeps the midges off and the women find me IRRESISTABLE!  

 

large metal box on the back of an NTV deauville
Spotted on a French Deauville.  Now THAT'S what I call a top box!  I am working on building my own MONSTER top box soon.

 

a normal ordinary house ona normal street in ullapool
Ullapool's not all harbour and scenery.  It's a regular town with ordinary houses where normal people live their lives much like the rest of us.

 

a mitsubishi crew cab pickup truck in black against a scottish mountin scene
Looks like an advert for a rugged 4 by 4...

 

gairloch in the sunshine, a white building and car park with hills in the background
Gairloch in the warm sunshine, whilst down South in England it was raining...again...

 

trees surround a small narrow road in scotland
Just another one of the single track lanes that lead to another sleepy hamlet in the middle of nowhere.

 

a rusty truck surrounded by fish crates and old rope
There has to be something like a rusty old lorry being used as a shed at any harbour worth its salt.  This one is at Aultbea.

Was looking for luggage for my 2002 Fazer (Frech camping trip) and happened upon this blog, I love Scotland, I hate the midge, awesome writing and I've been to Ullapool as a 12 year old and it made a big impression on me, even back in the early 80's, I must go back some time :-)

Great writing :-)

Thanks John! Ah the old luggage conundrum. We want a bike as light as a bicycle and then we want to carry as much luggage as a large trailer. Good luck with all that! Please drop in sometime and tell us how your adventure panned out.
