Hi all,
At short notice I've managed to get 12 days off work (need to use up spare days before end of my holiday year) and have been granted 3 days by SWMBO to wander off somewhere!! Yippee!
Decided to combine some wild camping with my motorbike and will be setting off from Windermere (probably on Thursday (11th) next week) with the intention of getting to John O Groats and back!!
Have been as far North as Skye before but never any further. I want nice roads, as remote as I can find for the camping, and would like to pass through Spean Bridge and ride down the side of Loch Ness.
I'd be grateful of any advice/suggestions as to decent roads / nice places to camp or suggested places to visit. Has any one else here taken a bike up to the top of Scotland?
First nights camping would probably be somewhere between Ullapool and the North coast depending on progress / weather. Any suggested remote spots? I have no plans for distance on second day so open to suggestions within 6 hours of John O Groats.
I'll add the pictures to this thread on my return.
Cheers,
Hope I don't live up to my forum name !!!
