Day 3: The Road to the Isles
Oban to Applecross: Leaving Oban, we’ll head inwards to the famous Glen Coe, riding through the mist and mountains, with views of the three sisters mountain range that will take your breath away as we continue North following the West Highland Way towards Fort William. Enjoy some time in the shadow of Ben Nevis before we ride the stunning coastal roads to The Isle of Skye. After a brief visit to Skye we head back to the mainland for the legendary Bealach na Bà (Applecross Pass). After our day of Glens and Giants, we’ll finish at our accommodation in the small village of Applecross.

Day 4: views of a lifetime
Applecross to Ullapool: Fuel up with a hearty breakfast. A shorter day of riding today, we’ll be riding on some of the most remote roads in the UK. Passing the shores of Loch Maree with views of Skye in the distance. After spending the day riding the spectacular winding single track roads, a well-earned rest at our hotel awaits us in the small town of Ullapool, where you can watch the ferry come and go to the Outer Hebrides at our hotel by the harbour.

Day 6: The Edge of the North
Thurso to Inverness: Today, we push for the summit of mainland Britain. We’ll ride the short trip to John o' Groats—the iconic "end of the road."

We’ll settle into our motorcycle friendly accommodation where we’ll be staying for the night.

Day 8: the scenic return
Perth to Thirsk: We kick off the day with a ride across the Queensferry Crossing, offering a world-class view of the Firth of Forth. After skirting Edinburgh, we join the A68.
