Numbum Round Britain

A good day with some memories.

In May 2014 we were in this area with The MG Car Club Caledonian Centre on their Three Day Scenic Tour. We were in the MGB GT then. We revisited a couple of places.

The first was a viewing point for the Kyles of Bute. The first picture was then, the second is today. Quite a difference.

With thoughts of taking the ferry to Tarbert we headed to Portavadie to check it out. Given out previous experiences with ferries and Numbum's exhaust I wasn't going to use the ferry without seeing the angles of approach. It was a no go, but we did get another then & now photo.

Then.

Now.

Reminiscing over it was back on the road again. This bit was a bit boring just trundling along  the major roads. Pam almost fell asleep a couple of times. We stopped for lunch at a garden centre near Inveraray.

We eventually picked up a road more suited to old Numbum, where we met some locals who outnumber humans, and headed on down to Campbeltown for the night.

Having made good time we kept on going on a narrow coastal road which we planned to do in the morning.

185 mostly super miles.

    Take an old couple and an even older car, add in over 4000 miles of driving and this is the result. This is the story of Numbum's drive round the UK coastline, driven by Owen and ably navigated by Pam. We hope you enjoy the journey. We will.
