Ok peeps.  This is just a feeler at the moment to see who would be genuinely interested.   I am considering arranging a long weekend or similar in Scotland for BM members this summer.   My plan was to meet at Scotch Corner from where we'd travel north along some of the best roads Britain has to offer up to Aviemore in the Highlands (just south of Inverness/Nairn), where we'd stay for three/four nights, before heading back south.   Price is liable to be around £150 B&B for a room (for up to 2 people) for three nights (more obviously for four), but may be able to get a better price if there is a number of us.   Using Aviemore as a base, you can tour a good number of the best biking areas of the Mid-Highlands, including Loch Ness, Glen Coe, Isle of Skye and the excellent Applecross ring.   Everyone's welcome and it could be used as a good introduction to motorcycle touring for those that have never tried it.   Let me know if you are interested.                                                                                                                                                                             

oHHHh I would SOOOOO be up for this - probably not on my 'ickle L plated 125 mind you! but if there's a spare pillion going???                                                                                                                                                                              

Liking the idea, Geoff.   My thoughts are: Make the base further west Make it a week                                                                                                                                                                             

I would love to do this too!!  Very much so!.. One of my dreams!   BUT... I would need to beg a pillion too?!?!     Not sure I could do a week tho...    Will keep any eye on this thread                                                                                                                                                                               

any eye? how many u got?                                                                                                                                                                              

pmsl !  ooops I meant AN eye ..i only have the one, yours truly Cyclops !                                                                                                                                                                              

ooo yes pls,think i might be able to wobble me way to scotland but need to plan well in advance and 3 days better than a week, wouldnt mind camping to keep costs down, im hoping to move house this yr and will need all my spare pennies                                                                                                                                                                             

good idea geoff, wish i was over in the UK to take part.   Make sure u got ur waterproofs tho lol.   Pillion-ing is good too cos u can split fuel costs etc on such a long trip.   When you have some basic details proposed, bung it up in the events calendar and get the attendance/lift requests going.   If I can, i might even get a ferry over myself                                                                                                                                                                             

sounds like a plan Geoff could be up for this one will keep both eyes on this
