Should be a blast to do....except for the camping part. But they do offer rooms as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boboneleg Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Fair play Bucky, you have a head-start of course. Personally I wouldn't be going anywhere near that this year, it's going to be rammed 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If for any reason you manage to get some photos I would love to see Scotland's landscape. I know it is a stretch, but had to mention. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grasshopper Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Nice photos @Specs Thanks for sharing. I really do want to visit Scotland some day. Such beautiful landscape and so very different from what I have lived in for almost 30 years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MooN Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 From what i've heard, the camping cars are more of a problem than the midges on that particular route. A victim of its own success perhaps, cos it should be a superbe ride. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 @Buckster Rightey dokey matey bloke flap old salty seadog amigo skip-jack jockstrap piano tuner you have posted something most fortuitous and useful which on this forum is well urr something Emailed Nathan Millward about the Garbage Run (LEJOG) in 3 weeks time as I have a strong suspicion it’s not going into Scotland cos of the rule of 8 (yes I know it’s currently rule of six but it changes 17th May to the rule of 8 for Scotland) and hes cagey about it, hinting in the not looking likely direction so I’ve said if he can’t split people into groups of 8 we’ll do the Garbage Run to Alston and then carry onto the NC500 on our tod. So tell me about this wild camping thing then, are there any rules or can you just pitch your tent wherever takes you fancy? Have you paid the £15 for membership to that website and if you did what’s it worth over just buying the Rough Guide to the North Coast 500? Any info appreciated.

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Anyway from the interesting trail braking/cornering post, the pictures of cigars n castles and now the NC500 website link I’m starting to suspect there more to Buckster than his cunty exterior shows 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a look HERE Usual rules of course, the wolves and the bears generally leave you alone but wild cats can creep into your tent in the night, nothing worse that waking up with an unwashed dangerous pussy on your face. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
