hopefully not Langford......actually that's an image i could have done without sorry.

Scottish highland roads, twisty, empty and scenic.......

there are enough roads to do 3 months there, but we're going to pick some of the best and do it over a long weekend.

actually several long weeknds as we plan to go back time and time again.

who wants to go to Scotland, and when would you like to go?

[TheFarmer]

Count me in.

We can always have a lunch stop at my Father's house (South Lake District) on the way there or back. I can also recommend a few good driving roads in that area. :D

[M3John]

Ah good effort, have always wanted to have a blat around there ! WilloM900 tells me that the roads up there are fantastic !

[ChrisKiejda]

i'm told by a work college the B9077 directly south-west of abderdeen is a nice twisty road!

[Harsh]

looks good Chris,

we'll be tieing this up in the next few weeks,

any more suggestions?

[TheFarmer]

If you use the M6 on the way to or from Scotland, then we can always take a bit of a detour to break up the motorway miles and take the A6 over Shap. A great road, never busy and very popular with bikers. I think that says it all!!

3 years back in September I drove from Inverness to Fort William along the Great Glen (past Loch Ness) in a day. The weather was gorgeous and the road virtually empty. It just gets a little narrow in places but otherwise very scenic and interesting.

[Furryballer]

I've been thretening a blat up there, go on, give me the excuse........

[harry_430]

i'm very interested in this too.

[Limahl]

I'd love to give this one a run subject to timing and weather. When were you thinking of going? Plus saves me getting Eurocover on my RAC :)

[Butters]

I am still yet to visit Scotland and I don't mind a drive so this seems as good an opportunity as any.

Keep us posted...

James. :)

[Gizmo]

Hell yeah. And if we should pass a distillery at some point as a stop-off... :)

[ARphotographs]

Ooooh our roads are brilliant, i have mentioned some within the new members post,

if you want, i'll go look for some new roads come spring and that means i can go play, plus be doing "research"

yet one brilliant road, A82,
another, Glen Fruin road (takes you past where we keep our nukes but shhhh thats a secret)
Then a brilliant twisty (enough to make a passenger sick) is "dukes pass"

oooh i wanna go out now!!

I'll either come along for the whole time or meet up for a bit of it.

I've always fancied a jaunt north of the border. I once went to John O Groats on a random trip one Wednesday, but it was pretty badly organised and we only really got to see major roads. Even these were spectacular however, especially crossing the Highlands.

I spend my life at the moment couriering across North Yorkshire, so I have quite a bit of local knowledge with regard to good roads to drive on.

[Harsh]

i'm looking forward to going again.

just a case of sorting out the final routes and the dates.

oh, and organising the weather too!

A Wednesday? Are you sure? I guess because there wasn't grass in the middle of the roads we drove down they were classed as major roads? :P

I'd love to do another trip up to the highlands in something other than my battered out old corsa this time.

[Porscha]

Oh id definately be up for this, I can meet you guys somewhere on your way up here, prob in the Manchester area ish if you come up that way. It would be a great drive, just need the sun to be out :)

[ironictwist]

Once again...another interested party! :smash:

[Cactussed]

And another...

[WorAl]

I'll have some of this

[m1bjr]

Im off to West Kilbride in the morning - shame its in the Passthat and not the Honda :(

Long drag from Somerset , cant wait ...

[WorAl]

Anything happening wth this trip??

[Dizeee]

Im certainly interested. Any updates on costs or dates? There seems to be a gap in the market for this sort of thing within the UK so looking forward to hearing more...

[Hethelred]

i could be interested subject to date and cost...

[Harsh]

we will be doing this trip, hopefully later this year.

stay tuned, the info will be forthcoming after we've launched our Alpine and Autumn tours to europe.

[m1bjr]

Up for this.... let us know the outcome.

Steve & Karen

[Dizeee]

After reading the Mount Ventoux thread am def up for this...

[Porscha]

yeh this is going to be awesome, just need some advanced warning of the dates.
I can imagine there will be a lot of takers with it being Uk based :)

[HereBeBeasties]

All of Speyside, particularly:
A93, A939, B9136 (stop off at Glenlivet).
A831 and A833 loop from Milton just west of Loch Ness.
A832 is very pretty, some good driving too, but single-tracked in places. Apparently the A835 north out of Ullapool is good, but I didn't have the time to try it and the A894 just has to be wonderful looking at the maps. I'd love to go up north up there. ;-)
