North Coast 500
Just returned from doing the North Coast 500 trip in Scotland ... and what an epic trip it is ... superb scenery and we had some fun in the snow too : )
It would make a great club road trip

Re: North Coast 500
No mossies up there, the midgies have seen to that.
If only I could think of something useful to type here!!

Re: North Coast 500
Camping is the best way to do it Ben ... be that sleeping in the car or tents
No midges when we went ... too early in the year for them
Yep the Honda Civic photobombed us
I'd definitely do another trip up there ... but probably miss John O'Groats as apart from saying you've been there and pics by the sign there's not much else around that area worth seeing.

Re: North Coast 500
I did part of that route (Braemar Junction (Corrieshalloch Gorge) to Poolewe and return) a couple of months ago in a works wagon - those Highland roads are 'interesting' in one of these!!
Would be a nice Road Trip in something smaller!!

Re: North Coast 500
A mate of mine has been doing a tour of the west coast and islands and the pictures he's been posting look absolutely stunning. I do love Scotland - just not the midges.
