Been along that road many times. I love that part of the country. We stay about 5 miles short of Mallaig in a village called Arisaig. It over looks the Isle of Skye and the isles of Eigg and Rhum. My daughter is named Skye. April and May are the best months to miss the midgies. I think the rule of thumb is to never pass a petrol station. I remember my old Range Rovers fuel light coming on, signifying we had a gallon of fuel left. We passed a sign saying 16 miles to Mallaig, but she was averaging 15mpg. My mrs crapped herself for the next 16 miles. Ha ha! We did make it, although it's all downhill into Mallaig. Mind you, fuel is bloody expensive in remote places like that.
