Cheers dan, best for me to just go down there and see whats down there. There staff is pretty awesome down there and give good advice.

So do you guys think im better off with Gortex, thats what i wear at the moment. But mine were really cheap (still pretty waterproof though) i could probably buy some descent kit for 600-700.

I currently wear cheap gortex but i keep getting a rip on the part where my boots get covered on top. Iv stitched it up 3 times now thats enough. Anyway im thinking of getting some leathers down hein gerick. My budget will be around 600-700 so i hope thats enough, but if it aint i may end up spending a bit more Anyway my questions: 1. Can you get leather that is waterproof aswell, rather than buying a seperate waterproofs on top. 2. I will be wearing this all throughout the year, so what will i have to look out for when buying it eg vents

The furthest ive been is about 220 miles, and i still felt fresh. Im really into my fitness so im sure that will help with long riding endurance. I dont really want to go up a motorway, id rather enjoy the journey up to Applecross.

From Bridgwater, Somerset it works out about 650-700 (no boring motorways) miles to Applecross. Im not quite sure how long that would take, and how many hotels i should be stopping at. Then theres riding around Applecross and maybe ill get to Joan o' Groats thats got to be a couple hundred more miles. So im not sure how many miles this will end up, but at a guess it could be looking at 1500 miles, is that right? How many miles a day should i be looking at doing, how much on average are hotels for the night? How much should i save up for all of this, dont forget food,drink,petrol and hotels?

Seems very quiet in this section, i guess there aint many from there. Im from bridgwater, somerset and just wanted to see if theres any of you guys/gals living in somerset.

Nowt stopping you! Get on your bike and ride, if you need any info give me a shout I do have a question, most probably dumb but here goes. How come you had to go on a ferry to get near applecross or was it just for fun? Edit: Was there many hotels up there, as i dont plan to do any camping.

That looked brilliant, i am so jealous. Ive always said to myself id like to go to scotland.

Went out to barnstable which is about 60 miles from where i live. I had my new satnav and wanted to try it out. I got there and thought lets try somewhere else, i cant remember the name but it was an extra 40 miles away. I got there and looked at my satnav and seen truro "hey i know that place lets go there it cant be far its only a couple centimetres on the screen". So off i went nearly two hours later i was there, heres me thinking it was gonna be a half hour ride. Now it was 5:30pm when i got there and i thought damn i got to get home its getting dark. I clicked Home on the satnav, and it estimated it would take me to 8:30pm to get home. By 7:00pm it was really dark i was on the motorway tailing speeding cars so i could see better, i was scared, excited and laughing all the way home. When i got home i was so pleased with myself and of course felt a little dumb thinking two centimeters on the satnav wouldnt be very far

Just hit the order button on a TomTom Rider Pro Europe, cant wait to play with it:)
