    I love the single track roads - usually less traffic, and up there gorgeous scenery.

    Tongue to Lairg is a ball ache its a fact. Ballachulish Bridge, on Dougs photo, the middle one, shows the road we took last year just out of Oban.

    Just to let everyone know i have finally booked all your accomodation for every night, three of the guys are organizing their own accomodation and @Vulpes you are booked in for Monday night through to Thursday night

    Sunday you are in the by the way hostel in Tyndrum,it is £20.00 and you pay on arrival.

    Monday you are in the Corran Bunkhouse it is £27.50 and you pay on arrival.

    Tuesday you are in the Skye basecamp hostel in Broadford it is £25.00 and i think it is due 4 weeks prior but i'll have to confirm this.

    Wednesday you are in the Gairloch hotel (twin room) it is £42.50 per person that includes breakfast you pay on arrival

    Thursday you are in the Caledonian Hotel (twin room) and it is £35.00 per person that includes breakfast you pay on arrival

    Friday you are in the Hostel in Braemar and the price is £23.20 i had to pay this now so for those that havn't payed me i have sent you a PM with details on how to do this

    Saturday
    you are in the Dakota Hotel in South Queensferry (twin room) it is £60.00 per person that includes breakfast i have to pay it a fortnight before we arrive so neare the time i will remind you to pay me!
    @BonnieCat and @ElectrAbigail at the hostels in Skye you might be slightly more as he doesn't have a twin room only a triple, the guy has not been back in touch with me yet to confirm a price but i'll let you know as soon as i know

    It has been a bit of a challenge regarding accomodation Andy:tired_face: The hostel in Ullapool was unfortunatly full, and i was struggling to find anywhere with enough twin rooms,The Caledonian Hotel is in need of renovation..according to trip advisor:confounded::rolleyes: but for £35.00 per person it's not bad and it is just for one night!..at least if i tell you this you won't be dissapionted;)

    Put this up again as it's slightly changed from the original route i posted..i have edited that post too

    This would be the route, point 1 is Tyndrum where we would stay on the Sunday night.(26th May)
    Point 5 is the Corran Bunkhouse where we would stay on Monday night. (27th May)
    Point 8 is Broadford where we would stay on the Tuesday night. (28th May)
    Point 11 is Gairloch where we would stay Wednesday night. (29th May)
    Point 12 is Ullapool where we would stay on Thursday night. (30th May)
    Point 16 is Braemar where would stay on the friday night (31st may)
    Point 20 is South Queensferry where we are staying on saturday night (1st June)
    Leave for home on Sunday the 2nd June
    Daily totals are all less than 200 miles which gives us plenty of time for stops

    Guessed it would be. I'll see if I can blag a ticket.

    Are you guys still getting in for peanuts by showing your cheap flight tickets?

    Dougie,
    Is that route down to Braemar via the B road that joins the Deeside route at Crathie? If so, a cracking little excursion of more nadgery stuff.
