Solo Touring the famous NC500 route in the Scottish Highlands on my Triumph Bonneville T100 in 2022, Provably the best motorbike ride in Britain.. Probably the best road trip in Britain. The trip took 4 days to complete excluding a day either side to get to and from the start/finish of Inverness.
This video follows day 1 and 2 of the trip, from Inverness, up the east coast to John o' Groats for the first night and then across to Durness, stopping off at Dunrobin Castle, Cairn o’ Get, John o’ Groats signpost, Duncansby Stacks, Dunnet Head and Smoo Cave. Then landscape starts off pretty flat but gets more and more dramatic as the journey goes on. I wanted to complete this trip on a budget so decided moto camping was the way to go.
The campsites used in this video are Bunchrew Caravan Park & John o' Groats Campsite. Both sites where well equipped and maintained and very well priced for tent camping, see links below:
