Yep me too mate, Oh wait I'm on a comfy Street Triple. TBH I'm not looking forward to the ride back down from Durness, I wanna be at The Hotel to greet everyone coming in, and organise the lunches for the Saturday. It might have to be a quick blat down. Googlemaps says 7:13 hours for the route I want to take. Lets see how that go's :)
the straight road down from durness is a fast road.
i'll sort one out for you.
sssstttoooppp fretting about the GM, i'm sure people will entertain themselves till you get there.
ooohhh and you were not the first one there last year. i had to sit in the bar like noddy no mates for hours.

Bib you couldn't email me the Tyre file for the route up to Applecross could you, might as well do it up whilst I'm up there! Just have to figure out a new route home now, I'm not feeling an 800 mile run from Applecross to my original overnight stay in Derbyshire on Monday!
