Just a thought.
Is there anyone here that would be up for some touring in Scotland in July?

I'm think about putting my old Enfield ('42 girder/rigid WDCO) on my 2 bike trailer and getting it to Oban. From there using the bike to tour the western isles for a few days.
There seems to be camp site availability in Oban to use as a base.
I'm looking for someone with a car with a towbar to go halves on fuel and take their bike on the trailer tool. My old series land rover is not up to the job of a long drive!
I'm in Hertfordshire.

sounds great and ive always wanted to do this myself , but to late in the year for me , the midges up there this late in the year are of some concern as i found out one year on Arran

There is a nice campsite in Oban and also at Glen Nevis, just north of Fort William which would be good bases. RIDE Magazine have done a few articles about touring the west coast over the past year - have a look at their website if you want any ideas. It's great area with Glencoe and the rugged west coast offering fantastic scenery and roads, good luck with your plans!
