Seems like you guys had a really exciting time there. I feel its important to take impromptu trips when we get chances like this. Plus your pictures make the place feel really worthwhile. Thanks for sharing this.. would be lookin forward to more like this.

soyrosa (74) · 7 years ago

I have never been to Scotland but the place came alive for me while reading the post. You've described your trip very well with enough images!

I will make sure that I read your other post related to the trip too.

soyrosa (74) · 7 years ago

Thanks! That's a great compliment! It's so hard to describe a trip well - it never matches enough with the way it made you feel. But I'm trying :D

Very cool and interesting! You took some great pictures. The Bealach Na Ba road reminds me of a road near a little town I lived by in Weitchpec, Ca. Dangerous! But beautiful, LOL. 😉

Well, I'll have to put that one on my list of 'roads to drive' as well then! ;-)

We have few of those narrow nasty roads here too, in some of Portugal's rural areas. Feel free to visit us, now that you already got some experience driving on them :D

soyrosa (74) · 7 years ago

Ah! I visited Portugal three times now (for a LOT of Lisbon pics scroll back a bit on my feed :D), but I have not yet had the chance to do some serious road tripping there :-) Would love to do so! :D

Just gorgeous! I really want to drive Baleach Na Bà now!
Ok, not really. I want to ride while somebody else drives :)

LOL! It's just as dangerous but the responsibility at least would not be in your hands ;-)

This landscape is very beautiful and the route reminds me of a town in Venezuela called Mérida that has a cold and mountainous environment with lagoons and peaks where you feel in another world. The photos are beautiful.

Cool, I will have to look that town up someday!

Excellent views! You find all sorts interesting to shoot on the moors especially in the areas where there's cattle (bones etc.)

I'm hoping to do that on my bicycle soon. Looking forward to Baleach Na Bà. Its apparently the hardest hill climb on a bike in the UK.

$0.00

soyrosa (74) · 7 years ago

Yes! It was quite heavy for the brave ones on a bike indeed! You're brave for trying, but you'll be super proud of yourself if you succeed :D Is biking your favourite way of traveling?

markangeltrueman (67) · 7 years ago

Yeah, im quite a bit of a long distance cyclist :)

soyrosa (74) · 7 years ago

That's great! You live in a great country for doing this, I was so impressed by the many lovely views you find while on the road... Bicycling is nice because you travel a bit slower than by car :-)

Scotland is so beautiful, It is quite a few years since I went but I do remember it's wild beauty. That photo of the Bealach Na Ba road is so stunning, the mist really adds to the beauty. Thanks for sharing @soyrosa

The landscapes are very attractive I really like the first and the last two photos. Plus I did not expect something like that not well maintained road in any part of Scotland. It looks a great trip!

$0.00

soyrosa (74) · 7 years ago

No, I did not expect that either! But there are some really sharp edges and some locals are affraid accidents will happen as the roads get busier with tourists and there is no-one fixing the roads...

$0.00

philfreetotravel (59) · 7 years ago

It should be very challenging and a bit adventurous to drive in that road. So it is comprehensible that even locals are afraid of accidents.
