You must have been in Ullapool when i was there,thursday nite,I saw a couple of 1150's and a 1200 outside the YH,if you go to ullapool again use the clubhouse at the celdih place cheaper than the YH and better.good showers,rooms and carpark.

Yep that was us 3 all on the best 1150 GSA's , thanks for the tip , pub up road was good for fresh fish,YH not bad at £18.00

So scotland hotter than England!!!

Driving home today and heard on the wireless that the Scott's have had warmer weather than us over the last week especially the west coast

I love your pictures but that love is turning into anger and sadness as i see what Ive missed

Giving the big BMW some serious thought now should it stay or go am i just having a knee jerk reaction but if it where to go what would replace it (none BMW)

Oh deer again.

Yep... that would be me on the 1200 Great weather eh?
I really like Ullapool YH, but will give the Ceilidh Place bunkhouse a try next time... it's got to be better value than the campsite... £13... are they having a laugh?

Top Scotland trip

And a few more

Hi Paul
Great pic's, I am going to try to attach some to this post!!
Thank you, Ian and Richard for a great trip and a great laugh.
Very gutted to see Ian and sick BMW having the trip cut short.(just done another fd oil change still looks good I will just keep on worrying as I ride)
Glad there were enough people to help me out of the ditch after my bad attempt at off roading!!!
I hope you have a great wedding and the new job goes well.
Would be great to have a download of the route taken off your sat nav.
Speak to you soon
Ian change it for a nice Triumph Tiger!! or an even nicer gs1150
