gadgie, a canae be arsed workin it oot. A assume the mileage is fae yer gaff but that's neither here nor there. Will the second day be a run tae JoG and then back doon the A9 ???
If we're goin tae Tounge on the saturday a'll probably hook up wae ra squad at Spean.
Book me in fir the b&b but a'll need tae square yer up first cause if it's gonae pish doon fir baith days am oot.
Let me know whit's whit and as fir ma input a think if the weathers wae us we should be lookin at the Wester Ross Coastal Route wae b&b roon aboot Durness.
A lot more miles but if the conditions are dry yer love every mile of it.
r, a've heard yer need tae pay some engerlish fud fir a pic at JoG.
It's his sign post.

Aldos planted a seed in ma napper SloMo...whit aboot this routin fur an option...mega day in the saddle but how often are ye likely tae dae this run eh?
an this direction means we should get petrol in decent steps once oot in the wilds o the West
Day 1
Peterhead
Huntly
Avimore (meet Aldo here)
Then scoot up A9 tae Inverness
Ullapool
Then richt up the coast road tae Durness
Alang the top tae Thurso fur supper an bed.
Thats 280 miles worth ( a bit mair fur Aldo) Google maps reckon 6 an a half hoor worth but mair likely 10 wi fuel, coffee an *** stops!
Day 2
Thurso
Alness
Inverness
along the lochs tae Spean Brig
Back along Laggan tae Avimore
Huntly
Peterheid
A mere 340 miles Sunday bimble!
aboot 620 total
Wiv done this miles afore
Whit diz folk think?

r, a've done similar routes all over the top in a day and all a can say is it's truly stunning if it's dry and not blowing a force10.
Right gadgie yer said yer want a run and no one o they roon the block feckers, get yer seamless boxers on and lets feckin GO.
Yer gonae be The Ayatollah of Rock & Rolla.

That sounds like a lot of fun, wish I could join you.
Mind you, petrol stops will be fun, Avimore, Ulapool, Durness, Helmsdale/Brora, Spean Bridge, and Huntly would be the safe options, not the cheapest places in the UK for go juice.

Rico,
That is a fair old run, me old bones are aching at the thought, may have to dig oot me poncy airhawk seat to reduce arse ache. If the weather is crap it will be a right slog. However day 1 if weather is crap, just a thought, miss the Ullapool and roon the top and just head up north fae Inverness to Thurso.
Day 2 again if weather crap there are shortcuts that can be done by most folk, not sure aboot Aldo though.
If its thurso for bed the Royal hotel has rooms, £40 for single bed and breakfast, £66 for twin bed and breakfast. If booked via booking.com they can be cancelled for no charge up to the 22nd. Just incase of real bad weather.
Just some thoughts
