West Coast 08 tour

[Gizmo*]

We made our annual ride north last week and true to form the rain and wind appeared for the whole trip We're getting used to it now so if you are planning a trip drop me a pm just to check we aren't planning on being there at the same time

Only did about 1000miles me on my GS 12, linzi on her 650GS, prefer taking our time, stopping for coffee and enjoying nice hotels to crunching miles just for the sake of it.

I'll add a write up later but here's my first go at using triptracker, clever site where you can browse images and view a googlemap or download the gps track file

not sure if this will embed<script type="text/javascript" src="http://triptracker.net/trip/4037/embmap/?w=800&h=620&title=Touring%20the%20West%20Coast%20by%20BMW%2012GS%20and%20650GS">

if not go here to view

First night was spent at the Calgary Hotel on Mull, second the Bosville in Portreee, 3rd Royal Hotel Ullapool and last Lime Tree Fort William, all were good but not the cheapest around.

We used the Calmac Hopscotch Rover ticket http://www.calmac.co.uk/hopscotch_route7 and the Kyle Rhea/Glenelg ferry to get off Skye.

That's really cool being able to view the images and see the map location at the same time Pity the weather hadn't been better for you. We are planning on heading up to the beaches past Lochinver this weekend but weather forecast dosn't look great.
