I took a run up the West Highlands today. I passed Connel Bridge and went for a walk over it for the view. I spotted this outfit. It's a Ural with sidecar and caravan. It had a foreign number plate, white, so maybe German.

I've featured this bridge previously. It crosses Loch Etive
at the Falls of Lora east of Oban and close to the point the loch joins the
sea. It was built in 1903 as a railway bridge but converted to a road bridge
when the line closed.

Thanks to "Mr Combo" for identifying this couple.
They are from South Eastern France, so a good way from home.

Putting a caravan behind any vehicle looks more like a Dutch thing to me ;-)
ReplyDeleteI have never seen a hack pulling a mobile home before.
Look at the weather, the mountains and the water... I am envious.
Pretty cool to see the caravan being pulled by the sidecar rig. And of course the bridge is pretty neat too.
ReplyDeleteIt does seem a lot to haul with the Ural's 41bhp.
ReplyDeleteAs I've said many times in the past, Scotland's weather is not always this nice. I constantly study the forecast and make the best of fine weather. On a day like this the landscape is spectacular.
The caravanners are probably this French couple http://www.passion-eriba.org/t11945-norvege-et-iles-lofoten-2012
ReplyDeleteThere's some video of them on the road too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBsEmlJN-Os
Well done Mike! Yes that's them. They seem to get about.
