Proposed Scotand Tour 2007
The whole tour is based in staying in Youth Hostels where bedding is provided and showers available. the average price of a hostel is £12 per person per night,thereby eliminating the need to carry tents or bedding

The total mileage is approx 1600miles with 7nights accom.
I realise it is not possible for everybody to do the whole trip but hopefully it may suit for some to join in at parts The hardest day is 4/7 Inverness to Ullapool and this can be shortened by cutting across by Tain and Bonor Bridge from280miles to 120miles The other long days are primarily motorway or main routes getting from South/North and return
This may seem a bit far in advance but it allows for anybody interested to book the necessary time off
Nothing is set in stone and if it is required it can be moved to coincide with AR2007 EITHER ON THE WAY UP OR DOWN
Just a basics at this stage to see if anybody would be interested[Sorry if the dates are out]
