Do you have a screen shot of the litter coming out of the window, i belong to a camper forum and will see if we can see if anyone owns up to owning or knowing the owner.

Also where and when waS it?
I can make a vid of litter being thrown out but it was far away so a screen shot won't work (whereas a vid does as you see movement of the arm coming out).

It was this morning - driving into Shieldaig IV54

Good job getting the prize prick on video.
I hate the creeping 'surveillance state' ethos of dash cams, but it is this sort of thing that makes me consider getting one.

Dirty bds.

There's one picture that sums up this summer for me....and that's this one....picnic bench at Coldbackie on the north coast, beautiful view over the Rabbit Islands at sunset, until you realise some dirty bd has either placed or done two stes on the bench and dumped obligatory toilet paper alongside them aswell. Sometimes I hate humanity!

Heading up to Fort William tomorrow, and then on to Ullapool. Looks like the weather is patchy at best frown

Not the highlands but some from a church on the coast of Fife.

Drove one of my favourite roads today - Huntly to Dufftown.
It's a decent road that's usually quite quiet and there's a whole bunch of distilleries at the end of it to pick up a nice bottle of whisky.
Decided to carry on to Aberlour (which isn't as good a road), but picked up a bottle of distillery only cask strength at one of the distilleries there (I don't know if I'm allowed to put the name down so i won't).

Tomorrow morning I will be traveling one of the best roads in the north of Scotland! Long flowing bends, clear lines of sight and pretty much empty for around 110 miles. Set the cruise control to 60 and enjoy. It’s all about timing as Mr GetCarter has mentioned so many times before, travel early and miss the hoards. The road? That’ll be the A9 from Thurso to Inverness. Timing is the key to a great day cool

There's a nice top portion of that route. The bottom half of it is fairly awful, traffic or no traffic! At least you're going in the right direction....

As long as the road is empty, I don’t mind it above Inverness. It’s the average speed cameras below it and the fkwittery it spawns that I like to avoid. I averaged 38 mpg in my old SAAB Aero estate last time I headed south, just by picking the right time to leave. thumbup
That was a 610 mile journey though. biggrin

Totally agree did this route last year.
