Scottish coastal tour
Hi, Ive been thinking about doing a trip around the Scottish coast after the big rideout in Aug, the plan is rough at present but am thinking of heading to Skye, Cape wrath, John O groats, Inverness, Peterhead ( thinking of camping on the Bullers of Buchan ) Edinburgh and down the coast before headin back over to the cheshire area,btw if anyone fancies joining me you,re very welcome, cos I dont know the roads, what would you reckon to this timescale ?
day 1 , bimble up to Skye in post Big ridout stupor day 2 , head up to Cape wrath and camp just off the beach day 3 , early start and head to John o groats then head south to inverness day 4 , ride down to peterhead and camp at bullers of buchan day 5 , head south and just get as far as I fancy Last edited by stewie; 29-02-08 at 01:22 PM. |

Re: Scottish coastal tour
No bother. Skye's a big place mind, don't leave yourself too much to do and end up chasing the fading light...
What a day! Get an early start. Sensational! I am salivating at the very prospect... Quote:
Peterhead? Seriously? Um, OK... Quote:
Unless you're on a promise I'd rip up day 4 and start again. Maybe head for Pitlochry via Braemar? It's a much better ride and you're much better placed to point it south and make real progress home on day 5. My 2p anyway. Whichever way you slice it up though, have fun and don't forget the midgie repellant! Last edited by Tiger 55; 29-02-08 at 05:34 PM. |

Re: Scottish coastal tour
Cheers Tiger, think what I might do is spend more time on Skye and head for for home from inverness, with a quick detour up to Kinloss to my old camp and then over the moor via granton on spey through to aviemore and stop with family in Bellshill on the way home, mind its a way off yet so anything could happen.
cheers |
