Accommodation en route
I might not be able to go on the trip but would like to be involved. As far as accommodation is concerned I might be able to help there, even if it is beddign down on the floor, settees and some spare beds.
I am in Dunfermline (near Edinburgh for those that don't know) which is not a bad days ride from Raasay, taking into account ferries and slower Scottish trunk routes (we've not yet embraced the motorway age you know).
I might also be able to arrange some other places to bed down on the journey if necessary.
Mind you, I would still prefer to travel as well...

Good man Sid!
Currently building a website for the trip, I'll PM you some details.
What bike you bringing?
Just a thought, they're not donkey walloping on the track on the day you're thinking of stopping there?
Cheers
I'll bring R1100GS. Its fitted with 41lt tank so can act as fuel tanker for other bikes. Its been to Morocco before so knows its way there. I've driven the route down to The Gambia with Plymouth Dakar Challenge in 2005 so know the fun of the border crossings etc.

Ah a second tanker for the trip
Of course HRH has fitted larger tankage as well but he'll need his
One thought, with all that air resistance from the HUGE tank, you probably wont need any front brakes, just make sure the throttle has a good return spring

I view it as weather protection, not air resistance
