I would love to do this, I’ve wanted to travel round Scotland’s coast for years, when I got a bike it made me even more determined. I got this book from the library a couple of months ago (fantastic book, would recommend to any one!) and it’s made me even keener.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Amazing-Places-Britains-Readers-Digest/dp/0276443004/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1231524212&sr=1-5 You wouldn’t need to spend much time planning the north half of the trip, its more or less just one road, I’ve been up in the north west a fair bit, most years for the last 10. On the way through Durness (good stop for fuel) I would have to make everyone take the 2 mile detour to the Balnakeil craft village where you can get what is in my opinion a cup of the world’s best hot chocolate, http://www.cocoamountain.co.uk/ I know a good bit of the sights up that way so would be happy to give some input if wanted. I will defo keep an eye on this post, though work commitments and brand new baby would have a big say on if I could attend or not. Some thing to think about is youth hostels, I looked at doing it and staying at YH’s where poss to keep costs down, I was amazed how many there are! Certainly one in Durness (it’s directly opposite the cottage I norm rent) Last edited by edmurrgr; 09-01-09 at 06:37 PM. |

That's ultimately what I want to have a go at. I'm not sure about this one. Depends on dates and the wife, err I mean the credit crunch.
