North Coast 500

Discussion in 'Touring' started by Nigel Machin, Jan 6, 2019.

  1. We’re cheating and doing it in the campervan this week, we live in derby so it’s a day there and a day back. Starting at Inverness and going clockwise, some campsites and some wild camping.

    The overnight at top of Loch Goil being one of the best.

  14. you went to Smoo cave then.
     
  15. Only a “wee” stop and grabbed a couple of photos, would like to have seen more but we’ve got too much kit to carry off the bike and added to that the unseasonably warm weather (not complaining though) and wearing Rukka textiles it’s a little too much to go for a hike :)
     
  16. its only 100mtrs from car park to cave. but yip, you have scored with the weather:upyeah:
