Then off for a brew and test your shutter speed and camera finger against the leaping salmon of Shin.

The sweeping Highlands have such a look of Scandinavia it is bizarre. Single track roads abound and secluded beaches dot the coastline as you hug your way in no great rush at all. Then there is the leaping salmon up at the falls - a must see for any sniper photographer.

Is there a need to put names down for these ride outs now or wait until we're up at Ullapool and decide then ?

For mine there is no need at all to put your name down mate as I don't have a limit on how many I will lead :)

I've made a generic template to cover most of the options I can think of and based on past rides try to ensure that everyone has as many options as possible.

It is also the case that 'things change' and always will, so you may find that some people change their minds, and that's just fine :)

It simply gives people an indication of how many are interested in a certain ride - so if someone has a limit then it could be looked at that someone else will also take a lead ride and make two groups on that particular ride.

Nothing overly formal.

Hi James, I`ve put my name down for LargeWayRound`s Tour but if there is demand for that one(fixed numbers), then i`m happy to switch easily as both routes look great. Cant wait, and roll on September :)
