Organised by our friends at Good Connections, Two Rivers Travel set off on a memorable eight-day guided coach tour of the Highlands of Scotland starting from Reading, Berkshire on May 10th 2008.

At Two Rivers Travel we try to make our longer coach journeys as relaxing and stress-free as possible. On this occasion we enjoyed an overnight stop at Shap Wells before moving on to our Scottish base at the very comfortable Ben Wyvis Hotel in Strathpeffer.

This superb Good Connections tour featured a boat trip on Loch Ness along with visits to Cromarty, Falls of Shin, Dingwall, Dornoch and Inverness. As with any trip to the Highlands of Scotland, there were plenty of stunning views of forests, lochs and snow-capped mountains.

Here are pictures of Inverness and the Falls of Shin, and also a shot of the Two Rivers Travel coach at Dornoch.

Our April 2008 coach trip from Reading, Berkshire to Hythe and Lyndhurst in Hampshire was blessed with fine weather and hazy sunshine.

A compact waterfront town, Hythe has attractive buildings and pedestrianised main streets. The market is held next to the church yard and is just a short walk from The Strand.

Here’s a view of the town centre, plus a shot of Queen Mary II in Southampton Docks taken from Hythe waterfront.

An early lunch allowed us to take a leisurely drive through the New Forest via Beaulieu and Lymington - enjoying the glorious Spring colours on the way - before spending the afternoon at Lyndhurst.
