Fog Blog----Foggy Roadtrip Nov 2015

Here is the world`s first Fog Blog --Another Scottish Invention
There were doubts about our nine o`clock  start. The Fog was thick in Clydebank but the weather forecast said it would clear mid morning. The drive along the Bonnie banks of Loch Lomond was a wee bit dodgy. We considered turning back but by the time we got to Bridge of Orchy--- the sun was peeking through. Next stop was the Carpark in the Sky. Normally a great photo stop but sadly fog spoiled it. Nice chat with two travellers from Perth [Australia]. They were loving Scotland and surprised how good the weather was.

Even in November there was many tourists about. In the Kingshouse Glencoe we had the pleasure of talking to the gentleman who was responsible for starting the Ski lift in Glencoe. Charming person. 

Be careful. We were talking to a van driver at the Carpark in the Sky. About five minutes later we spotted him off the road. He had swerved to dodge a deer and ended up in a ditch.
We stopped to see if we could help but he had called for pickup truck.  

We had lunch in the Kingshouse. Just at the start of Glencoe. One of our favourite watering hole.The hotel is at the eastern end of Glen Coe at the junction with Glen Etive. 

The locals are friendly
