The best road in the UK.

Ok, I was just going to stick on to the end of my clutch issue thread, but it's worthy of its own thread... (there may alread be one somewhere)

Last week, I took my friend and 2 canoes to miles away. The place was, according to the map, the most westerly point of Britain. Just across the water from the Isle of Mull. Scotland.

On the way there, we drove (probably too fast) along my favourite road in the UK.
It was a surprise as I thought the road was coming out of Fort William, where in fact it's going toward it (from Glasgow).

Ladies and Gentlemen.
I give you the A82, running through the Glencoe region.
Not only is it a beautifully straight, well tarmac'd road. But it runs through an amazing vista. You see the mountains in the distance, and after a short while, you drive through them. As if that isn't good enough, once you pass some of the amazing peaks, you come to a gorge.
I drove all the way to Cheddar Gorge once, and that was JUST a gorge, this is mountains and a gorge.
You break out of the gorge and the road opens up once again, to amazing views of some of the highest peaks in Scotland.

And after it's all done, you can spin around and do it again, like we did.
