| North Coast 500 (Northern 500) are you interested ? |
|
I saw this mentioned in a post earlier in the week and have had a look into it and its really got me interested. Would anybody else be interested in doing it next year around April/May time I would say 5 or 6 days to complete it. If you cannot do it all you can meet us at different places where we will be camping overnight (or hotels if you don't want to camp !) I don't know how to do a sign up so I just thought I would gauge interest first. Here is a link have a look and let me know your thoughts  If we can settle on a date that suits I will ask if I can do a sign up. It looks a fantastic opportunity to have a good few days camping and driving round the top of Scotland. www.northcoast500.com

No dates sorted yet Andy so I am open to suggestions. End of March may be better as its 3 weeks before Easter and would not clash with peoples Easter hols.

I would not have thought that bad as it will still be cool. Again though that is why I have said I would like some feedback from people in the know.

I saw the original post and was also inspired!
It looked like a good trip to give my 'camper conversion' a trial and have been planning to give it a recce in the next couple of weeks.
I would be up for a group 'tour' next year, shifts allowing!

As mentioned on t'other thread we've got plenty of accommodation, and plenty of room on the driveway if you can't bear to be parted with your camper.
We had over 20 cars, catered for 50 people and around 30 people sleeping over last month. Black 05 TDV6 HSE Auto
