NORTH COAST 500

Great write up Jules. Looked awesome trip

brilliant write up and vid m8, looked a cracker,

Really enjoyed the write up,  but hope you're not offended if I said I was glad of the volume control when watching the video

Ai i had to turn it down a bit too

I would be up for that next year if it turns out to be 4 days riding looked a good adventure to the highlands

4 days would be awesome as there's loads to explore up there

Did you take tents Just in case you had to cancel any b&b's ?

no but i may be up for that too, thing is the weather is so hit and miss up there we were very lucky with it as we only rode probably less than an hr in drizzle the whole 3 days but it humped down in the night , wouldnt fancy packing all my wet shit away and then riding all day on tarmac youd freeze atleast when on the dirt bike you can get into the woods to get a sweat on

we booked twin rooms so it was pretty cheap

Why would you need to cancel b&b's after booking them ?

Altho  I would do 4 days, it would be too long mind, we could have seen more by splitting the milage more equal, there is only so many mountains to look at..

I worked it out to be roughly 140, 140 & 230 miles a day (we did chuck in additional tho coz we had time), reason being the longer leg on day 3 was because I didn't want it over in 2 hours or so to get back to b&b to do fook all.

B&B's were £32 a night for night 1 & 4, & £35 a night for night 2 & 3.

What would you ride it on Wolfy ?, only asking coz the 990's were looking for fuel around the 140 ish mile mark, if you was still thinking your 450 with little wheels you'll need to carry lots of fuel.

& I'd say no more than 6 riders for ease of the trip. & knowing now.... May is the best month to do it in.

Why May Taffy? would love to do that on the little wheels...wot no fuel for 140 miles ? i would need to carry fuel then.
Do fancy it, back packing
