Just a few days away before Winter

Post by jesim1 »

I've not posted much in the trips as the 3 week plan to do Europe in the summer hit the rocks, but that's another story :oops: , this is just a few days away since the forecast is nice and I have the time before winter sets in.

Three days away from my home south of Glasgow, up to Crianlarich before heading down to Campbeltown and overnighting in a hotel there, easy day, just a couple of hundred miles or so. Day two will be another 200 mile ish day up to Inverness, good roads and lovely scenery, what's not to like, stay over in a hotel again before heading back down to where I live using some of the less traveled roads as the notion takes me for about 250 miles or so on day three. I'll have to use some of the A9 so I can get back at a reasonable time, but I'll see how it goes, so my route will vary slightly depending on my mood and time.

I really need to get a trip round the NC500 some time, perhaps next year, but it seems to be hard to get accommodation, and even a 150 mile day can take 5/6 hours riding on some parts with few options to stay, but it's on the radar after having another attempt at 3 weeks in Europe, probably May time before it gets too hot ;)
