Little tip on hotel cancellations; ring the hotel and don't cancel the room but move it (the booking, not the room - that's quite hard work and needs more planning...). Move it by say a fortnight, then a few days later ring or go online (as the move often updates your online booking too) and cancel it well within your allowed period. Happy days. This all assumes you can move the date without penalty of course which is why ringing the hotel is better since they're normally more flexible than a booking system.

Awesome trip. Can't beat Scotland for scenery, quiet roads and grippy tarmac. If you do the Outer Hebrides you need to book it in January, we tried 3 years in a row to get booking but left it to late, eventually we did it 6 months ahead which worked out. Just be careful of spray and chip resurfacing, the idiotic councils are trying to save money but putting out lives at risk.

I live in New Zealand now, perfect motorcycling country. We have public roads here which are always gravel, no tarmac ever. Road trips always mean gravel at some point. Its impressive seeing riders on completely unsuitable bikes negotiate those roads. Stand up, puts your weight down low. Also its easier to balance on your feet than on your bum :-)

Can be a logistical nightmare trying to get ferries and accommodation to line up as you have found, so I now take a more flexible approach to the itinerary and book hotels where I can and ad lib where I can’t with the insurance policy of a tent for when the prices get silly or no rooms available, although now I’ve turned 50 the old bones object a little more to the canvas option. Keep up the good work.

Another beauty :) The chipping thing is called 'road dressing', they do it a lot down here in Cornwall. They smear some tar on the old road surface and then spread all that loose stuff on top so's the vehicles press the gravel into the tar, it's a cheap way of staving off spending any money on resurfacing. It's godam lethal for bikers and I h8 it. They also don't raise the manholes so after 4 or 5 road dressings they, in effect make the manholes potholes, jack-asses!

The midges aren't the only things that bite in the Western Isles ......... hotels, BnBs and psycho truck drivers. You should have tried the YHA at Broadford on Skye. Lots of similar accommodation there. I hope you are going to take us up to the Quiraing, past the Old Man of Storr, up to the Trotternish ridge and up over the mountain road from Staffin across to Uig. I camped on the beach near Staffin, midge free. The road up from Portree is fabulous. I told you about this a couple of years back. I had the pleasure of cycling it although the midges weren't a pleasure. Got eaten alive back in Broadford when I stupidly camped at a rip off campsite as I couldn't find anywhere to wild camp. Scenery was stunning especially the Trotternish ridge. Would love to go back walking in the Cuillins but only dressed in a suit of armour or full motorbike gear to protect from the wee beasties. Btw it's only the female that bites. One female midge can bite up to 4,000 times an hour. I got mullered when I was there. Had to raise the white flag in defeat and retreat. Your drone footage is good. You should do more of it. You have a head start as you have a pilot's license. I hope you properly carry out all your pre-flight checks. You need to go higher though.

Would you ever consider camping? You'd save yourself a fortune. With good quality modern camping kit you'd don''t need to be uncomfortable either.

With your name you must come from Scotland or have a background there.

James Hind my family came from a place called Sallachy near the Kyle of Lochalsh. They came to Victoria in 1853 as a family group. I have been there some years ago and the area is beautiful. Must have broken their hearts to leave.

And Again: you fortunate guy 😃 The gravel roads are the same as in Norway.; there are lots of them. In a car you can do about 80 km to keep it safely 😬 Strontium is a metal which, in the natural form, is not radioactive. You'll have to go to Norway, than you know Scotland equals Norway-light. But beautiful.

Fantastic video. Could watch that again and again. Take care on the chippings. Hope your GS wasn't damaged by the stuff flying off that lorry's wheels.
