In the ten years or so that I’ve lived in Scotland I cannot remember ever stringing together three consecutive warm, dry & sunny motorcycling days.

However that’s exactly what happened over the last three days as I undertook my Great Northern Loop of Scotland.

Most of the roads travelled I’ve ridden before, usually as part of another trip, but never have I attempted this particular route all in one trip, albeit spread over three days.

Day One::Edinburgh to Ardmair 371 miles

Day Two::Ardmair to Dunnet 159 miles

Day Three::Dunnet to Edinburgh 367 miles

What a fabulous 900 mile route around the northern extremities of mainland Scotland!

Not a bad introduction to camping either, with lots of lessons learned. Although I know that Gina has no interest in camping, I’m quite certain this won’t be the last time a carry a tent on the ‘bike!
