Superb ride! Some great pics there too!
Great report, photographs and write up .... I can't see why people are busting a gut to get abroad
Thank you
I love riding in Scotland ( was up there myself a couple of weeks ago) for us its is a fabulous destination and can be done quite easily all the way up on great roads ( through the Dales and along the spine top of the Penines etc) but for those unfortunate enough to live in the south i can see why Europe is preferred as it is easier to get to !
Going to France on the Tnell is for me a PITA as it involves 250 miles of motorway each way to get to Folkstone the same goes for Spain which requires Portsmouth or Plymouth
So for ease and pleasure Scotland is brilliant

Good write up and some good pictures; i had to laugh at cheering for the Italians all the way through the match;; that has to be the Taff;

Currently in Scotland staying in Fort William. We went to Applecross today via the A87, what a road! Stopped at Eilean Donan Castle for the obligatory photos and then over the Pass of The Cattle. Applecross was closed! Everything shut due to Covid except the campsite which has a mobile chippe. We returned via the lowland coastal road and that had fantastic scenery, we were blessed with the weather, bright sunshine and clear blue skies. What a day!
I trust sir is planning to head for Ullapool and points north? Turn west off the main NC500 route and take the Wee Mad Road to Lochinver via Inverkirkaig. Have a bite to eat at Lochinver and then head north to Kylescu via Clachtoll. Take a wee detour to Achmelvich and chill at one of the finest beaches in western Europe.
That'll be another day well spent. A long day from Fort Bill,mind!
Thanks Steve, looks like a great trip, wonderful place to visit, we have been doing around 3 weeks every September for a few years, take the Motorhome with a small bike on the back, never short of somewhere to stay
Will you remind me, please, of the make of your bike trailer with the castor wheels?
It’s a Easylifter Hydratrail.
Having a bit of a rest day today. Heading out soon to see Glenfynnan Viaduct and then over to Camusdarach Beach south of Mallaig as her Ladyship would like to go for a swim.
Thanks for the info Peter, having a long day doesn't bother us, we must have done close on 250 miles yesterday.
Excellent choice of route. The road down to the Clyde ferry is one of Scotland's little known gems. Then you've got one of the finest ferry crossings in the world (in terms of views) at the end of it. The good weather you got for it is an absolute bonus!

There will be a return visit and a few more ferry rides I'm sure thanks for the tips and local knowledge
Cheers Neil I don't know why I've left it so long to get up there on a bike
You're doing well with the weather too I thought I had bagged Scotland's summer week
