Just a taster imagine this on a Helix at 45 mph ;) ;) may do the Applecross section as that's part of NC 500 .I've done it on Silverwing in 2010 so if other Helix boys want to include it .

Slight change of plan now 2 nights at Lochcarron 3 nights Ullapool can camp get room at both locations .from Locharran can do Applecross and loop back to Lochcarron .Next day move to Ullapool. Reason being not sure about mine and Whittys stamina for the slog up there and back so may trailer to the 2 locations.No good being done in once there want to enjoy it once up there .Jaz could lead a scenic route from Locharran to Ullapool via coast road .

Hi Mr P,
Is this just for Helix owners?
Or can "southern softies" join in too ?

Did a lot of the "500" a few years ago (before it was named) on the C90 and managed to fall off at the top of Applecross pass. Still got home ok and would love to see it all again. Some of the best places and things I have ever experienced ;)

Just checked and it's 640 miles for me :o

Cool. Don't want to rush about but reckon the Scoot would be more comfortable than the C90.
Do you think you could précis the dates location and details into one post so it's clear for us numptys ?
(Maybe possible to edit the first post ?)
