Has anyone done this on a bike. I’m going next year on my Triumph Toger and will probably be wild camping along the way and maybe a few night at sites where I can use their facilities. Any recommendations of what to do?
I’ll be traveling from very down south. |

Did it a few months ago with a group of biker m8s, stayed in cheap bunkhouses and youth hostels,started in Inverness,and ended in Fort Augustus, fantastic scenery and a brilliant ride, make sure you have some good waterproof clothing , well worth doing. |

Done it last year on z900rs mate was on a tiger
Pre booked accommodation w
Absolutely fantastic ride do it anti clockwise for the best scenery and go off piste a bit to see a bit more
We was very lucky with the weather in fact it was too hot if anything lol
Food along the way expensive? I didn't think it was anymore expensive than anywhere else in the country tbh
Fantastic route with fantastic roads and fantastic scenery |

Go through the Cairngorms on the way to Inverness. It would be a waste not to. Maybe even Yorkshire Dales, Penines and Scottish Borders on the way. Maybe Forest of Bowland on the
way back. The NC500 part takes care of itself. |

I wished I'd spent longer in the Cairngorms.
Also, consider a detour to Skye if you've time.
Not NC500 but I really enjoyed riding from Fort William down to Ballachulish and Loch Lomond and the Trossachs. |

I agree! Loved the NC500 all the times I've been but Cairngorm is something else!! You do it once and want to turn around and go back and do it again haha |
