The Applecross Dash

We will be there, I've managed to get a long(ish) weekend.
Heading up on Saturday evening.


Will there be camping down by the shore at the Inn?

Pleased you can come Haggis!! You could have a look at the shoreline camping but you might be better off on the site as there's a fair bit of road repair stuff on there - if you don't want to be in the thick of it on the site, there's always the second field. You get a cracking view from there out over Raasay too!

Hey Haggis, T-shirts now on Ebay so's yer can arrive in one!

See you there folks! If you see a 750 gixer and a yellow DRZ 400 feel free to say hi!

So how many .org folks are thinking of going then?


Wordsmith (sv)
Me(sv), with a mate on a gsxr400, and possibly a ninja900 too, all two up.
Philbo (gsxr)+drz mate.




Any more tempted by this?
C'mon it's a bank holiday, what else u gonna do? DIY and mow the lawn.......boring!

I'm on the fence... I think I might just check the forecast and decide a day or so before, assuming there's still camping available anyway.

Might not be able to make it after all... Waiting to see if I have to got to away with my work....

I've been phoning all day to try and book a wigwam. Just got an answermachine so far.
If i get thru, i will ask how many spaces are left. The campsite is pretty huge Northy, several acres, so i dont see that being a problem at all. If you're pitching a tent, then just go for it i'd say.

There's always the fallback option if it is full. You've got the shoreline to camp by if you're not fussed about lumpy bits under the tent. It's perfectly located for the late night staggerer. Who, me?

Again, there's acres to scour over 'til you get the perfect spot.

Remember to fill your tanks at Lochcarron Garage folks!!!! And I'm pretty sure it's shut on Sunday. As is the one at Kinlochewe.

There's none in Applecross itself, so thought i would do a quick list for my own mental notes later. Helluva long way to push.

17 miles: Lochcarron > Applecross via the mountain (Bealach-Na-Ba)

55miles: Lochcarron > Applecross loop > Lochcarron.

80miles: Above route plus trip to either Kyle of Lochalsh or Inverinate for fuel on Sunday.

Yeah, that sounds like a plan... I reckon if I pack fairly light there's space in the top box for a 5 litre fuel can
