Isle of Skye and Highland Tour

Posting this on behalf of a mate.

Alright guys, I am planning a weekend tour next year on June 20th, 21st and 22nd. Arrive on the 20th and tour on the 21st and 22nd, up on the North West of Scotland on the Island of Skye and part tour of the mainland, covering the highest road in the UK, the Bealach and a tour around Skye.

The Bealach

Skye

It will consist of challenging single track roads, with some stunning scenery. Coupled with what I think to be some of the best A and B roads in Scotland. I live on the island so know my way around very well and know all the roads. I plan to have one day touring around Skye and then the next a trip over the Bealach to Applecross for some lunch in the Applecross Inn, which has awesome food.

The village I recommend people stay in would be the village of Kyleakin, where there is plenty of accomodation at all price levels and it has 3 bars, 2 of which sell some good food.

I have posted this on ITR-DC5 and the people that are coming from that forum are planning on staying here - http://www.booking.com/hotel/gb/mac...id=48833137f292798abbf4d1c0e67d421756c427c2X1

If you would prefer not to stay here, there is lot's of accommodation in the village of Kyleakin.

Its always something i said i would do with my ek9, however after 3.5 years ive yet to do it!

Unfortunately im away on those dates.

Yeah I think we take it a bit for granted living here, but summer time you see plenty of car groups touring, will do some kind of a write up after it to see if it's something people would want doing again.

I'd did it when I lived in St. Andrews and it was epic! I'd recomend it to anyone a thousand times over.

There's some of the dc5 owners meeting in Glasgow and driving up, its a good mate of mine that's organising this and he's in contact with them, can pm you his number if you like? and you can fire any questions at him.
