NC500 in October ....

Postby slparry » Wed Oct 11, 2017 7:29 pm

it's wet ..... it's windy ......

Which meant it was a pita stopping to take pics but the video captures the feel.

One headwind was so strong I genuinely thought it was going to stop the RT :D

Still gorgeous tho' ..... and still very little traffic, my mate on the F800GT (Paul) got a puncture near John o Groats, useless string repair thing failed to fix it so the AA came out. Great little bike shop in Wick popped a new tyre on for him at short notice, we made the lost time up by not having lunch or afternoon coffee stop so we could get to the Loch Ness Inn at a reasonable hour :D

Stops were
Erskine Bridge Hotel
Gairloch Hotel (very inexpensive)
Altnaharra Hotel (awesome and remote)
Loch Ness Inn
Erskine Bridge Hotel
