Besides me (a feckin' resident of London) and gerrardwatts, has nobody local got any great routes, stuff to see ideas and detail to assist the OP? Come on, it's your backdoor....
To remind everyone:
So now I've found where the bit to ask questions, I can ask them....
Ideally I'm looking for some general Advice.
I'll be leaving London on the Friday night (Easter Halfterm)
I've then got two choices, blat 8 hours up to Fortwilliam or stop off after about 4 for something interesting to see, and a bite to eat.
I'm not that bothered by fancy hotels. So ideally no bed bugs, but I don't need a spa and foot massage every evening either
The only 2 things I want to do in the 10 days I've got, is see the falls of Lora and weather dependent have a crack at walking up ben nevis.
Other than that I'm open to suggestions.
Are the roads up the coast to cape wrath and across to wick good on a bike? Last time I did it there was a parade of german motorhomes, but I was in a car, so not really in a position to use any quick overtaking spots there might have been.
So option one, is up to cape wrath, across to wick, down to inverness and back across.
Option two, is a ferry and some islands.
