Moved from the Travel section to the Jock's section
This started as a thread implying that you wanted a route from south London, up to Scotland and on to Fort William. Along with that not inconsiderable distance, you want 'stuff' (whatever that is), stop off's (not entirely clear if that's hotels or what) good roads .
Did it? Nice assumption, but it makes you an ass...(plus if you really can't be bothered to be helpful, why try and come across as a keyboard warrior?)
Actually it started with me asking why there wasn't a section that covered the UK and Scotland, when there were other sections for Pyrenees etc. (

However the actual answer to that question is that for some reason England Scotland and Wales are located under general (

So now I've found where the bit to ask questions, I can ask them. So you now make some valid points about some items to consider, so thanks for that.
Ideally I'm looking for some general Advice.
I'll be leaving London on the Friday night (Easter Halfterm)
I'll go about 2-3 hours and stop off. So if anyone knows a biker friendly, or bike secure stop around Worcestor, that would be good.
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.
I'll have a look at tha cal mac link, as I've no idea how cheap/expensive the ferries are.
Yes there are some websites and such, but I'm sure I can answer all of your posts with - can't you google for that? Or you know you could ask the question here, and make use of the forum...
