Great. I'm gonna pop it in the diary for next year and hope nothing gets in the way ;)
Yup i am in C90 club (as stevew) but don't recognise the name Mikey Sunter. Bet he goes under an alias on the forum.

Open link to map below plan is to do B to D which are best bits IMHO if you want to carry on do the lot you can carry on from Durness .Idea is stop 2 locations and ride with no luggage .First stop Lochcarron which is the loch before point B next location is Ullapool which is on map .Does mean a bit of doubling back but you will do best bits in both directions ,you will do A to B on the way to Lochcarron. That's also nice run as you go west from Inverness

This bit was the route i took on the Cub and it is absolutely stunning. I'm really hoping i can find the time to come up for this.
Durness east across the top is good up to Tongue (from memory) but then gets worse and worse until you reach JOG which is crap in my books !!
I did it in the opposite direction (anticlockwise) and approached Tongue by coming up the middle of the Highlands on the A897 i think.
Maybe practical to do this clockwise tour by returning down the A836/7 from Tongue................dunno, never ridden these roads, just musing :twisted:

I can't do it as a tour as taking scoot up on trailer with camper need base then ride from there .Feel free to do it anyway you fancy and meet up in Ullapool.
