On the other side of the coin, 2012 August bank holiday weekend a huge weather front hit the uk with tons of rain and strong winds .... challenging but still awesomely beautiful up there :)

That's a good deal Steve, but those dates would clash with my summer hols usually, we'll see.

I only chucked the dates at them as a number to get some idea, later next year are the commonwealth games but earlier I don't think is a prob

I'm interested in joining for you guys for my first boxer meet in Scotland unless there is the chance of doing a meet earlier in the year. I always wanted to go to Applecross via the pass and loop the top of Scotland. Would it be too much for a weekend to include part of the Hebrides?

It'd be a push :) bear in mind Applecross is over 200 miles from Glasgow with say John o Groats via the coast another 240 miles from Applecross, Scotland's a big place .... A couple of us go up to the Highlands for the August Bank holiday travelling up to Glasgow on the Friday, then riding often via Applecross in a loop back to Glasgow for Monday night and home Tuesday. Including the 260 or so miles each way to Glasgow from north Wales we do about 1300 miles.
