HI Everyone I'm organising a NC500 trip for a few lads, just throwing this out there, in case a bunch of you want to tag along.

The trip lasts 5 nights, you will be home on the 30th of May.

You have to book your own hotel or camp (you can freestyle camp in Scotland, just dont expect me to come near you after 4 days of you and no shower), my best advice is to grab a hotel or camp site or a hotel this way you an fit the trip to your own budget without me having to do any work, win win situation.

Theres no optimax or vpower 99 ron or that type of fuel on the NC500. this is a pretty important consideration you will have to get your mapped for 95 or turn up like I am with a crate of NF octane booster.

if you look to book accommodation you need to book as close to these places, on these days, in these locations, we can meet up at a central point each morning and carry on from there.

Day 1 – Inverness – 25/05/2020
Day 2 - Wick - 26/05/2020
Day 3 - Tongue - 27/05/2020
Day 4 - Ullapool 28/05/2020
Day 5 - Oban. 29/05/2020

I did this last year in £500 cars with the FittedUK lads. it was amazing, fully recommend it! I'd be joining you if I thought my car would be ready in time!
