Cool Karey, looks like a fun day tomorrow for you :)

Well start planning your Scottish holiday then, so many good places north west of glasgow.

Loch Lomond - Good camp site is beinglas (http://www.beinglascampsite.co.uk/)

Loads of good places to stay in fort william.

On way from loch lomond to fort william go via invarary, always loads of bikers there at weekends durig the warmer months.

Then onwards to Kyle, again, lots of b & bs on skye, kyle and surrounding area.  Take some time out to visit plockton, ride the applecross road and pretend you are highlander at eilean donan.  Having a day out off riding, take the steam train from fort william to mallaig, and go over the bridge as shown in harry potter movies.  Maybe even go to loch shiel where bonnie prince charlie raised his standard( http://www.panoramio.com/photos/original/18741591.jpg)

Erm I should be working for the tourist board shouldnt I.

ahhh- I remember all them routes tamaz!!! absolutely BRILLIANT biking roads!! (well they were last time I was there <pillion> ), which I must admit is quite a while ago now..errr when the M74 was the A74 & was only just a dual carriageway !! lmao..first time I went up to Scotland, it was a single carriageway!!!   **wanders away sheepishly as am now showing my age!!!**                                                                                                                                                                             

Hey Dugald.. I know them blasted midges only too well. Me an my mates go camping in the Borders, Ettrick Forest, every August on the edge of a forest, beside a river at the foot of the hills.. absolutely beautiful, but the midges ALWAYS come out just as we're mekkin our tea.. u wud think we wud learn by now but we dont.. always get bitten to chuff!   lol   Apparentely Avon Skin-so-soft is meant to be good!.. im hoping one day i will be immune, but i doubt it! lol   Tamaz, some brilliant roads there! I went up to Wildcats rally, John O'Groats last year, went up from Fife, but coming back down we did a bit of a scenic route, past Fort William, past Loch Lomond and Loch Ness and thro Glencoe.  I can't remember the exact route as i was ont pillion, but it was enough to blow me away and make me wanna get up there lots more.   My mates go up to Strontian, Mallaig every Hogmany and say its awesome, i get asked every year, but havent been..YET, always something gets in the way, but i will do.   Errrm...yeh.. WHO do u work for? lol   Lol @ Stella !                                                                                                                                                                                   

LOL Holmfirthgirl, i wont ask what age you are being a gentleman, but ..... i do remember A74 being changed into M74, but I was a kiddie then :P

That skin so soft thing does work, my now ex got it when we were in skye and it works. Skye midges are something else!!

Nah, dont work for tourist dept, software developer.
