Petrol stations are only scarce when you get north of the Kyle, and they're usually 24hr credit card pumps anyway.

A weekend trip to Scotland for me is about 1400 miles, so I'm sure a wee blatt there an' back is nothing. Chester to Fort William is around about 340 miles, and takes about 6hrs or so, so as long as you're fore-warned, you're fore-armed so to speak

hehe Right enough Debs, but for Dizzy's sake, I thought I'd reply. It looks good on a map, reality is somewhat different, as you know. If you've never done it, you don't know what to expect, and we've both done it, so benefit of experience an' all that :)

The ride up
I'm waiting at Tesco Carlisle (M6 jct43) until 10:00am to meet anyone from 'darn sarf' or wherever .
I suppose Morrisons/Asda Dumbarton is a good spot to meet AND THEN ,,,,,, The beauty and the majesty begins,

The glorious ride up through Loch Lomond and beyond mwah, woohoo

Too bloody right. The best riding there is up there
In fact I'm off up to Glencoe next weekend. I'll check out the condition of the shellgripped corners while I'm there

Just to let BMers from further down the Country know.
Carlisle is a small town but has plenty of overnight accommodation. Premier Inn (two) a travelodge and plenty of b&bs .
