Just looked at Ullapool, Tongue,Durness,Ullapool loop works out 178 miles .So depending on weather could be done .I think I'd do Ullapool Durness first make decesion then to do loop via Tongue or return to Ullapool which is 136 miles return trip .All depends on the day how many stops ect .June has most daylight hours up in summer up north .Bigger scooter would be a piece of cake .I'm doing Scotland plus Wales trips not sure about others .Obviously Wales lot easier and less time need at least a week for Scotland trip .

Can I put my name down as very interested?
Done the Highlands in 2007 on a Varadero 1000 but it was a bit of a whirlwind and would like to do it again on the Forza, also never did Applecross last time.
When are you likely to firm up dates & make bookings?

In the new year I'd say I've put provisional date up .Theres not much at Lochcarron accom wise but is fuel and campsite .Ullapool has loads .I'm easy on dates as not working .
