    Honestly don't worry Kev, take it as compensation for the crappy camp bed in Inveraray. I'm going to go on trip advisor and tell them they were shit.

    Though the food was good. And the chamber maid :p

    I'm with u on that Dave, Best road the last 16 miles to Scourie well over 3 figures tipping it into bends. Followed closly by the Scottish TT to the Maliag Ferry. Loved the b&b in Inverness, best night out Oban. Worst was the long motorway trip yesterday.

    Lol DAVE'S TOURS

    are you starting a new business?

    Highlights/quick review

    Day 1. Dumbarton to Inveraray - riding superb
    Accom OK but the Argyll Hotel had ignored my request for 3 beds via booking.com and didn't compensate us, though they should've as Kev later said his camp bed was awful. Food good and town (Inveraray) very nice with a great pub/bar.

    Day 2. Inveraray to Inverness - riding superb - the Mallaig TT!!
    Torguish House loved it - food OK at the strange concrete restaurant.

    Day 3. Inverness to Scourie - A99 great. John O'Groats as expected but do it once. Too far at 246 miles on single track roads and coast disappointing. Liked Scourie, decent but basic food

    Day 4. Scourie to Oban. Nicely paced ride through the amazing landscape then TT run from Ullapool (nice town) through to Oban. Ullapool to Inverness an amazing road, then another fantastic ride through the Great Glen. Accommodation only average for the price and Oban disappointing. Have to choose who you talk to carefully!!

    Day 5. Oban to Dunoon good, ferry enjoyable but then the usual hard work through the Borders. Travelodge excellent considering the price and food good (had breakfast at the Premier place too, couldn't fault it.

    Day 6. Simply getting home. Lakes roads seemed incredibly narrow, twisty and poorly surfaced after miles and miles of shell gripped racetracks!!!

    Favourite Accommodation: Torguish House by a long way - loads of character, great hospitality
    Favourite road: Can't split the Mallaig road, the A99 north of Inverness to Wick, the
    Ullapool to Inverness road or the Great Glen. They were all superb :) I'm still grinning

    Don't be daft. It should be me sorting you lot something for being top company and having great discipline on a group ride . I've always said abit of planning does not go amiss.

    However,,,,,,,if you insist I'd like a night with kelly brook, Thank you so much

    I enjoyed every bit of the trip. Enjoyed everydays ride ok the passing place ones were a bit grueling at times but the scenery made up for that .The beach at Durness is just to die for.Every nights accommodation was spot on.
    The company was Fantastic .A big hats off to Dave for his organization the rides were bang on every day with no hicks ups
    You lot were excellent company this weekend .Still buzzing and would do it again next week.
    Oh not forgetting Dave s Osprey impressions (had me in stitches)
    And not forgetting daves quote before we caught the ferry to skye
    (45 minutes to do 45 miles ! Overtake Everything)
