congrat's,Mr & Mrs H7 :thumbsup:
you picked a lovely area to visit,ive not been up that way in age's.
we have freind's who stayed (at the end of the road!) looking straight on to "seal island"...god!!! i cant remember the name :embarasse ..they now stay in Oban
their is a nice feeling within that area,everyone has a freindly nature to them.

did you drive to the end,where the start of the big pond is?....down that lovely (near) single track "zig zag" hill....the one with the "mind blowing veiw" of the local area,island's in the sea and miles upon miles of ocean....breath-takin :happy:

The photo was taken from Creggans Inn overlooking Loch Fyne.

No idea, there's not much room in there.

Lost count of the number of other cars that were dispensed with ;) Strangely, the most satisfying was an old git (look who's talking) in an SL350 who thought he'd try to keep up. Mwahahaha ... :p

Yep, that's the one in the photo. Called "Atlantic Bridge" (how inventive ;) ), it bridges from the mainland to Seil Island. Photo taken from the wee car park on the island side.

Yeah, Easdale is where you can get a thrill ride out to the Corryvreckan whirlpool. Step into a head-to-toe waterproof suit, sit on the boat like you would on a chopper, and head off into the waves (not self-drive ;) ) Not done it, but spoke to someone at the weekend who did and said it was awesome.

Nice pics...

Great car.


Im up that way lots... that bridge is a bit ropey sometimes, going over it all you see is sky and bonnet.
