Did it in September.. no free accommodation on the west coast at all on my final day due to the virus .. scourie to Ullapool hardly had any free spots as as they were all taken up by campers or vans .. was great though |

"Looking at doing it in a week - we know that is nowhere near enough time to see it all but time off work is the governing factor here.

I did it in a week from Essex, depends if you want to sightsee or just want to ride, I was doing 200-300miles a day and loved the roads. If any of your friends drop out I'd happily take a spot as some amazing roads up there |

The plan is getting up to Inverness on day one, doing 100 (ish) miles per day on days 2-6, taking us back to Inverness, then ride home on day 7.
I know we are not going to be able to see everything but the ride will be will as good as the stationary parts. |

A group of us from on here are looking to get it done next year as well, this year it didn’t quite happen and we are hoping to do an island hop at some point, tents could very well be our accommodation for some of not all the nights we do it over |

When we are going there’s also a number of vanillas looking to go along also so it’s not an exclusive group of fabbers but obviously some of us will get the inside jokes and tbh most of the vanillas take a lot of jokes and innuendos tongue in cheek |

"hope your thinking of adding the gorgeous isle of skye to the itinery 
Skye is lovely to visit
There's a camp site opposite a pub with 400 whiskeys"
What's the pub called, what's the campsite called and where on the island are they  |

Thank you. We'll take a look. Last time we were up there we went to Oban then a ferry to Isle of Barra. Up through the Outer Hebrides then onto a ferry to Skye Then down through Skye and back home. A brilliant week away |

We're hoping to do this next year but we're not fans of camping so we'll be looking for some decent B&B's or hotels, anyone with any recommendations we'd love to hear from you.  |
