Update..

Talks have broken off between union and plant bosses which will result in strike action on Sunday and Monday.

There is panic buying at the pumps reported by the bbc in northen Scotland and some forecourts have run out due to high demand.

I see this is only gonna get worse next week and even the plant confirm there mabey some shortage problems. I cant take the chance of getting stuck due to time constraints.

Ive scrapped the scotland trip and Im now looking on going to Rep of Ireland on the 30thApril(hollyhead-Dun Laoghaire) and following the coast of southern Ireland, returning on the 7thMay.

Any ideas on places to visit, good roads etc ??....


Cheers

XRM, Thanks for that link. A great website with lots of info there.

Right, Ive had a good look at it and think ive found the route and where to stay in the short time I have there.

I plan to travel in the evening of tue29th April from Liverpool to Dumfries and stay the night with family. Setting off from there on Wed30th making my way to Kinlochleven(Nr Fort William) via A82 Glen Coe.

I will be camping at Kinlochleven that night and the next moring stay on the A82 then A87 towards Kyle of Lochalsh and over the bridge to Skye. I will stay for two nights on Skye (Great place).

Saturday morning I will be heading from Skye A87/A890/96 and visit Applecross. Following the minor Rd arround the coast back onto the A896 and A832 towards Achnasheen. I will be spending the night here.

Sunday, Heading for Loch Ness (gotta visit nessy) A832/835/832/33 and A82 towards Invermoriston where I will spend the night.

Monday, will be a long run back down the A82 and onto the coast road round Greenock A8/78/77 to Girvan and on the A714 to Newton Stewart where I will stay.

Tuesday, Heading back accross the boarder, following the Coast roads. I plan to head towards Whitehaven and to Wast Water, Nr Seascale.

Camping there that night and heading for home via lakes the next day.

This plan also gives me one free day to play with as I only need to be back on Thursday Evening. So I have extra scope(I think?)

Anyway, From my first post. Ive kitted out with camping gear now and plan to camp but B&B always an option if weather is dodgy.

Any thoughts??

Better spending Saturday night at Applecross, very good campsite there, also there could be a few bikes at the site (Holiday weekend) The Inn has very good food. I will be there with my wife, (in car) we have a cottage there for a few days.

All the best
