Torridon (are we nearly there yet?)

57.556787°N, 5.634743°W

No need for satnavs when you have 

An open window

And your fluffy nose detects

The sweet smell of sunshine on Scots pines

Mingling with salt spray.

And the road steep and sinuous 

Permits no distraction

But the sea eagle hovering above

Ignores the rules

And the car swerves, sharply.

Then brakes are applied

As a sheep (silly thing)

Ignores my warning bark

And my inner GPS

Tells me we’ve arrived

At Canapress.
