It has been a while since we last did a long day run on the bikes, it was last October we did the NC500 for local kids’ charity, time flies past and trying to get dates that suit everyone is not easy as you get older.  We thought about the Lake district, but it would be 3 days to enjoy the most as could not get dates to suit so we opted to stay in Scotland and head over to Skye.   

It was an early start to the day with a ride down to Dingwall, surprisingly cold with the sun just starting to burn off the Harr. Roads were quiet for the time of year but still some early rising motorhomes to contend with. Riding through the twists and turns of Garve I had the unpleasant experience of a bird strike.
