Some fantastic pics by the boys. Especially considering they were taken by phone cameras.

We had mainly 200 mile days after leaving the GM,which I originally thought might be quite difficult considering the road type that we would be on, but the roads were virtually empty and the single track ones usually had good vision, so a quickish pace could be set. One of the boys led, with the lumbering Duke taking up the rear. Raving did have a moment early in the trip with a car coming around the corner and forcing him to use the gravel option. He kept it upright. Thank god.

After Torridon we headed up to Tongue





Numbers used this stop to check his rear again



In the afternoon we found a lovely beach





A pansy smelling the daffodils





Embarrassed and exhausted after his beach meanderings, Raving takes a breather



Only to be rudely disturbed by this sight!



Still on the way to Tongue, we stopped for another pic session.





Looking down the cliff side we spotted a caravan



How on earth did it get there?



At gone 5 in the afternoon we find yet another deserted beach. In fact there were lovely looking beaches all along this road.





Raving goes walkabout again



This pic taken by Numbers. Very artistic. Not!



We arrived at the youth hostel around 6pm. It was discovered that there were bike washing facilities, so they were utilised. However not by us but by the boys.

One can only assume the Top Gear boys have been playing with trebuchets again

Is that the one in Caravan Trader, advertised with a 'sea view'

Looks like a good time had by all

Lucky mofos, this looks awsome, I bet it was nice and relaxing with just a few of you, compared to loads of peeps on the actual GM ride.

I fancy heading up north at some point on a smaller scale, the sheer numbers involved with the big GM rideouts always puts me off.

G there weren't as many this year! Perhaps next year is a safe bet for you

Has he just ' watered ' those daffodils?
Is so he's passing some nutrients!

Fantastic shots wish i was there

Absolutely brilliant!

I did a tour of Scotland over a week a few years back. But that wasn't on a bike. I really must do it again by bike.

It certainly did. And we did too.

The Saturday ride wasn't that bad G. You soon end up riding with someone of a similar pace, or up the front, where the pace was quick enough IMO.

Because it was our holiday, we sort of dictated the route for the rest of the week together with daily leave times and, it worked quite well although I think the boys would have preferred a bit longer in bed.

No, he's quite well trained, is Raving

Make a note for next years calendar. Maybe a few more will stay on and do a similar trip. It's well worth the effort.

Yes, yes you must Mel.
