Adventure Bike Rider Forum

Hi all when's the best time to tour the west coast of Scotland and would you book b&b in advance. (thumbs)

I go every year in early May for the pre65 trial in Kinlochleven then go elsewhere after, even though the Ft William area is busy with the 6 Day Trial as well there is usually still vacancies at B+Bs but obviously not as much choice as usual.

May used to be the best month ,nae midges. Nowadays who knows.? Pic below the beginning of July. yes it is scotland (thumbs) known as motorbike on this forum, FRANCO ,

Scotland is rubbish, particularly on a motor bike, I wouldn't bother, way too busy the roads, especially North West.

HTH :whistle:

I your correct ,big prob you can't move on the friggin busy beach :whistle:

As RandG says dont bother coming up . It always rains the midges are terrible the people miserable and the roads are so bad they are only potholes :whistle:

I'd say late April,May,early June.They weather's usually more settled then and there's no midgies.I did a 750 mile route last Easter ( I think it was later than usual though) over 3 days and the weather was great! (thumbs)
