Re: long weekend
as it happens i'm going up on the 12-13-14-15th July.
i'll hopefully be staying at Smoo and Glenbrittle SYHA or see if i can get a decent priced B&B as i don't do tents  funny i was going to nip along to Kinlochbervie on the way down but i have decided not. i was thinking of coral beach but i cant walk far. |

Re: long weekend
We're setting off on our round the coast trip on the 14th - I'll wave as we pass.

Re: long weekend
Yeah, though my tent packs tiny and weighs less than a kilo. Mainly though I am too lazy to actually be organised so I will just drive places and then either get a cheap bed or camp
Also I do a 6 on 4 off shift pattern so I may do it on weekdays so would likely get lucky with places being quieter/cheaper. |

Re: long weekend
You're starting in the Long Toon but heading west to pick up the M90
 Would have thought B9097/B920/A911 and pick up the M90 further up  2nd link, no Applecross - pass of moo cows Oh forget that, see its day 3

Re: long weekend
Wowee! That's a proper tour of the northwest.
 You must have a cast iron butt to do such intense mileage.  I can check if I'm free and tag along for a wee day trip. Last edited by haggis; 19-06-13 at 11:51 PM. |
