Yup, we did pretty much that ride yesterday and it's a big bash in one go- but it doesn't have to be one go, I think a lot of people are planning to stop over on the way up, like we did on the way down to the AR. If you do it that way you can make the ride a bit more fun, instead of grinding the M6 from end to end. Personally if it was me, I'd make a longer weekend of it, that's what we planned for the AR originally.

Another option is bike hire, of course- fly and ride. It'd probably be cheaper than petrol I'll be looking into this a bit more over the next couple of days

Pop into the Glencoe Massacre thread (see my sig) or drop me a line if you're thinking about it, or even wondering if it's doable. It's definately a big ride but it should be a great weekend.
