MG Car Club Caledonian Centre Jacobite Jaunt - Saturday

With the bacon butties on offer when signing on we didn't have breakfast, just packed up our worldly goods and loaded the car. Signing on was busy but we got sorted and sat down to look through our goody bag and munch our bacon butties.

Meeting old & new friends is always a good part of these events and this morning was no different.

This year the organisers had a timeline of a few cars to go off first and our car as selected as car 3.  I'm not sure how that happened as our BGT isn't the most pristine example but we'll take glory where we can.

The ten o clock start was soon upon us and we were on our way to Fort William, a journey of about 96 miles.

This route took us through the beautiful Glencoe  where we stopped for a short lunch break.

From Fort William we headed north west to Inverness and the Kingsmills Hotel which was to be our base for the next two nights.

We stopped for a while at The Commando Monument which was quite a moving experience.

A few miles  further on we passed the Invergarry Hotel where we spent the premature last night of our 2016 Numbum Round Britain tour in the MG TA. It brought back some memories.

Some delightful single track roads made driving fun and we made it to our destination in one piece as did everybody else thankfully.

It was a busy check in but we eventually made it and went up to our room. What a room it was. How did they know we were an old married couple? The bed was huge so if we had a barney we could keep well away from each other. If it was a serious row, there was an extra bed!!

We had time to freshen up and change before going down for dinner which was preceded by wine and canapes. After a good meal there was a casino evening with blackjack, wheel of fortune and roulette. We managed to lose all our chips and being lightweights headed for bed. It was a great fun evening.

A lovely 161 miles today.
