Great... Now we'll get even more camper vans to get stuck behind on the single track roads...
Hi
lifted straight from BT news page here
I'm not going to copy the photos.
It's worth checking out the comments as (a) they are funny and (b) some complimentary views on staying in Thurso, Wick and environs,
North Coast 500, Scotland’s answer to Route 66, voted one of the top five coastal drives in the world
Scotland’s version of America’s famous Route 66 has been named in one of the world’s top five coastal road trips.
Opened just two months ago, North Coast 500 – known as NC500 – was designed by the North Highland Initiative and set up by Prince Charles to entice drivers, cyclists and walkers to take in some of the country’s most scenic areas.
The 500-mile route runs to and from Inverness, venturing around the capital of the Highlands, up the West Coast and back via the rugged north coast.
Praised for its ‘rugged romance’, Travel Now magazine voted NC500 the fifth best coastal road trip in the world.
Along the way, the route takes you via the fairytale castle Dunrobin, home to the Earls and Dukes of Sutherlands since the 13th Century…

Even better more motorbikes to see and hear ....

they have as much right to use the roads as you or I.
Think of the boost to the economy with all the fuel they are burning and stuff they are buying.
i counted 17 of them. All Italians doing 45mph. I was glad I was only stuck behind them as far as Forss.
45mph is a reasonable enough speed to do.
60mph is the limit, not a target
hell no, I wouldn't be able to wash the dishes with a floor soiled marigold.
Anyway have you found a suitable vehicle yet or are you going to admit that your earlier post was BS
1. the NC500 is more than 500 miles.
2. even if you can find this 500 mile range camper, the range would be calculated from controlled flat road steady 56mph driving, not on hilly, windy stop / start highlands driving. In reality the range will be much less.
3. they fill up in inverness, perfect for the economy.
Ok for the Inverness city economy.
And Britain's favourite supermarket.
except the fact that they will need to fill up midway around the trip
