You know where Pegs favourite place in the world is after Cyprus, Maria?



You only need ask him about Ulapool, when passing

i sorta disagree about the A9. up till you hit Pitlochry its crap but once past there i think it's a nice road with some stunning views. just watch out for the speed cams.

Now you're talking Dave, that would be fantastic sir! The Cairngorms one definitely, I'll be biking everywhere else so my road map will do, but locally I'll be doing lots of walking, weather permitting

And where's might this Wildlife Centre be, could well be worth a visit!

Heya Maria.
That would be Kincraig Wildlife Park, abt 5mins north of Kingussie. Our fave place for a day out. Say hi to Walker and his new pal Arktos, the polar bears there if/when u go. Also there, amur tigers, lynx, wildcats and much more. Well worth it.

As for roads, head in any direction - its all good. West to Spean Bridge/Fort William/Mallaig is fantastic, as you'll remember.

Haven't ridden it for a long time, but I agree that is a great road. Go to Glenshee and get the chair lift to the top

You'll love it and if all else fails, there's plenty of distilleries to do the tour of.
Also haven't been there for a long time, but its a really nice place

I arrived by sea, which is another great way to see Ullapool
