Thanks for the invite Chizz,,

I will hopefully make this, I'm coming up from Wiltshire on Thursday, staying at Loch Ken Campsite in Dumfries and Galloway.

I plan to leave there early Friday and make it to Cannich Friday evening, most probably later on as I will go via Loch Lomond, Inveraray, east to Pitlochry up through the Cairngorms to Inverness then west to Cannich... hopefully in the 9 hours Google quotes...

I just wondered if anyone else was going up from the South West?

Cheers

Ash

Hi ADV I will be going from the northwest however, my own plan is that I will making the trip with my bike on a trailer due to having my other half with me. We are going for a week and just cant take enough gear on my bike to make camping for a week comfortable for two any more. I may have Touring Ted in tow with me he also wants to bring his bike on the trailer. His arse can no longer cope with 10 hours in the saddle and that is how long it took me to ride there last time.

I will leaving Wirral on the Wednesday morning and arriving around 6pm ish in the evening. If routes or dates coincide, be glad to meet up along the way?

I'm got to try and convince my new boss that me going up to Scotland will be good for my BMW experience.

Hi GM,

Yes you would be very much in my path coming up from wilts, I am yet to decided whether to take an extra week off work and head up a week early to Island hop the outer Hebrides then down to Cannich for the weekend.

Once I have decided (next week or two) and set plans I will let you know - so we can arrange to meet up enroute!

Cheers

Ash

Seriously? If you really need more stuff than you can carry on a bike why not get a trailer? I hear they are very popular with the Harley crowd...

island hopping?
Hi ADV, our plan is to use Cannich as a base and go to Skye on Friday maybe John O'groats Monday. Enjoy the ride out on Saturday with another trip on the Tuesday and head back on Wednesday. All this is weather pending of course, I dont do snow!

Reggie, old age and calcified bones require comfort. If I was on my own I would be using the small tent and thermarest carried on the bike. Dotage comes to us all See you for a pint when you land

Fair enough, I now need a dome tent rather than my wee Saunders Fellpine because my joints don't bend as well as they used to. Crap, innit?

Horizons Unlimited was founded in 1997 by Grant and Susan Johnson following their journey around the world on a BMW R80G/S.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
