2 Weeks+Scotland=???
 
Hi Guys and Gals...

If you had two weeks to ride in scotland in July... Tell me where you would go??...what you would do??.....What you would see?? if you would please be so kind?

The only thing to bear in mind is we are camping and have a small to medium budget.

Cheers

Dave

I've just done 4 days up there..... Can send you the route files for TYRE if that helps.

Cairngorms are a must, as is Applecross (both roads) also Applecross to Gairloch and Gairloch to Ullapool are pretty good.

Have fun.

I would def include Applecross. Terrible with road names though [ I'm a wumin!]. Tiger and Kilted Ginger a wealth of info, why not pm them? Good luck.

I'm near Erskine Bridge [ on route to Loch Lomond] and always available to the org for food and pee stop x:cool:

If you are on a budget remember wild camping is free,avoiding campsite charges can save you £50-100. Check out the various Wild Camping in Scotland threads


TAKE SOMETHING FOR THE MIDGIES--------you are going mid season

Got my first bite of the season today Mac, little buggers didnt even ask!
Try and get some Smidge spray or Avon SkinSoSoft.

Routes - anywhere north of the central belt is a good bet.
Callander-Ft William, then over to Mallaig and back via Skye, Applecross, Ullapool, Beauly, Ft Agustus, Spean Bridge, Newtonmore, Aviemore, Glenshee, Pitlochry. For starters!

No! Let's have it all out it in the open...

I'm dashing out but I'll give you the benefit of my wealth a little later. Meantime Combatfred and Carelesschucca have forgotten more than I will ever know, drag them in to it. :)

We are going to Italy, and the journey in its entirety is 14 days, better than Scotland ;P
