I did 684 miles at Tut Towers (no track day) and am a little embarrassed to admit that I achieved 38 mpg. :oops:

And I did tell you by PM in Feb when we were talking Westies (even tho I knew I would be in the States) .....

"There is a thread on the Forum for TT07 ... a weekend meet of lotus owners organised by Tut. Its a bit of an institution involving a trackday at KH then runs up to his place near(ish) Aberdeen followed by Dinners/BBQ/piss ups and more runs. I am sure there are upwards of 50 cars involved inc many from Down South. If you are into meeting up with the regulars then its a good place to start."

Where are the 3rd and 2nd last pics taken?

Don't recognise them.

Is the last one Inverkirkaig bay south of Lochinver on the single-track road?

Yes, the last one is just south of Lochinver.

The 3rd pic is a view of Loch Eriboll.
Which is between Tongue & Durness.
If you look at a map, you can see that distinctive shape of the 2 bays.

i'll post another couple of that area.
