My last exam is on the 25 May so a weekend away would be great. If TC will travel with me though.

try youth hostels,there really cheap, i stayed in one just outside john ogroats,and for the price,it was good,we then travelled down the west coast and stopped in another just befor lochcarron and this was ace,top notch,but its one hell of a run,if you follow the coast road like we did but its one brilliant ride,ill post up my route...give me 5 mins to find it

[fazerboy]

hmmm cant find it,but i can send you a route if you like

[archiec]

Good, we have the most fun there.

I have been given permis... I mean I've told the bint I'm riding that weekend and if she don't like it she can get f****d as that's how I roll in this house.

[fazerboy]

yeah baby,if you dont like it, then pack yer bags...did it really go like that?hmmm

[fazerboy]

i could be persuaded to do this and the girlfriend wouldnt mind coming too,as we could use it as a shakedown for riding in spain 2 weeks after

aint sure yet, but would this be ok?

[fazerboy]

Just a few pointers on times and mileage.

as you pointed out it might have to be a 5 day trip,and i would have to agree with you,minimum 4 days especially if you want to do the west coast down from durness,which is the very top left hand corner of scotland.but that road is really worth doing

i would say if you can get half way up scotland and stop the night there,then upto john ogroats and across to durness the next day and then do the west coast day 3 and then take it from there,but day 3 is worth doing all the little roads and covering less mileage and getting a real taste of the backroads of scotland,and day 4 either coming inland and seeing the sights or trundling back home.

mileage for this sort of trip will be around 1000 miles if you do the coastal roads and around 800 if your coming inland...hope this helps
