Wee Camping Trip This Weekend? - SV650.org

Hey Guys

It looks like MrsCombat is working this weekend, so if come Thursday night the weather forecast looks good, I'm thinking of chucking the tent on the bike and heading to Applecross.

I stop work at noon on Friday, so would leave Glasgow Friday lunchtime. Camping Friday and Saturday then returning on Sunday. Saturday will be a wee run up the coast.
Was thinking of Ullapool for lunch, but don't want a heavy day, so might turn back at Poolewe, have coffee and cake at Torridon then back to Applecross for some pub based chill time.

I was going to just head off myself for a bit of bike based me time, but that sounded a bit poooofy, so wondered if anyone else fancied it.

Got a wedding on this weekend, otherwise I might well have jumped at this!

That sounds like an ace idea! Sometimes, just sometimes, I'd like to live up there.

In Ullapool now, weather absolutely sh*te! Has not been good for last.2-3 days.

I'm working this weekend and my kit is still wet from Skye last weekend.

There's nothing poooofy about 'bike based me time' by the way, sounds good. Have fun.

I would have done, but mini me doesnt have her helmet and the girls and I have a date that involves cocktails and cupcakes so you're failing on enticing bribes!

Have fun!

Would love to mate but the AR was a ride too far for y sprained wrist, all swollen and strapped up again. Enjoy. Hope you have a great time.

I'd have went but getting bike MOT'd on Saturday morning then having a BBQ (rain, hail or snow) for my Dads birthday.

So I'm out. Have a good one.

50:50 on the weather the last few days, and looking much the same til Friday mate. I'd have popped over one evening but the tuono hasn't recovered from gm4 - got a mega-soaking on my way home and drowned the clocks. Hasn't been moved since.
