OK, so Big Red S has already written a good write about this kinda of trip.
Mine was slightly different in that I went anti-clockwise around the North Coast 500 road http://www.northcoast500.com but missed out the bottom bit, as I went from Glasgow to Inverness and then headed south once we got to Strathcarron.
It was 1845 miles door to door via Dangerous B’s gaff in Derby on the way up and via North Ayrshire, the Cumbrian Lakes and Yorkshire Dales on the way home.
I’m hoping that someone will arrange a bike trip soon my hayabusa is all ready serviced and I’m living in Northamptonshire now if there’s anyone from londonbikers that fancys a bike ride my nabour has a zzr1100 and is always arranging trips if anyone is interested around Sept my dad’s arranging a 10 day bike tour to Europe when I get all information I’ll post it up there 10 people going so far!
