Travel travails

I just wanted to take an opportunity to vent.

I was home in Glasgow this weekend. On the way down, after lucking out and being right behind a snowplough on the road over the hills between Cluanie and Invergarry, we got stuck for ages coming down the Blackmount from Glencoe/Rannoch Moor towards Bridge of Orchy. I don't know quite what had happened, but someone had managed to block the road and while the police were sorting it the snow kept piling up on the road and then for some daft reason they sent the uphill cars off first. They were crawling up and sliding all over the place. We were about an hour and a half late into Glasgow.

On the way back up earlier tonight, there was a bad accident on the road into Fort William holding us up for about 40 minutes. By the time we got to Fort William, we only had about 10 minutes between buses, and there was nowhere to get a drink/food/do the toilet. The bus for Skye was leaking VERY badly through the roof, almost got blown off the Skye Bridge and then dropped me off about 1/4 mile short of the bus stop - I got SOAKED walking back to the car.

To say I'm in FOUL humour would be an understatement.

Even taking the current weather into account, I am sure you will be well chilled after a day or so back on Skye. But don't let the bus service get away with providing such a grim service (running water included in the price !)...drop them a snotagram !

At least you got home...by our reckoning my in-laws are misplaced somewhere between Inverness and Harris, but then my father- in-law and directions don't necessarily co-exist in the same sentence!

Sounds like you're one of those tourists who - if you ever come in a car - don't know the unspoken rule of the highland road: always give way to UPHILL traffic! Regarding your terrible traveling trauma: GET OVER IT!

Alistair from Skye


Alistair - I've been over it for a long time, and I'm well aware of giving way uphill! I was under the impression that the point of these blogs was to share experiences of island life - travelling long distances is certainly part of that. I don't think I'm being fussy when I want a bus that isn't leaking.
