one thing I did notice was that on the narrow road they pulled over where possible to let faster cars pass, nice to see that sort of courtesy these days be nice if cyclists did the same

Er, a Perkins Prima engine . At least one of the others, has a 200 TDI . I am not sure about the truck cab . This group of Chappies go by the name of Team Faff and have a number of other sets of videos on YouTube , which I find much more interesting . Steven Patchett has become quite expert at editing his videos and are very inspiring .

Them midges blight Scotland. That Nichola Sturgeon should do summat about it instead of arsing about trying to rip off the English taxpayer.

The NR 500 is in danger of becoming a victim of its own success. Too many bikes going too fast someone is going to get killed, campsites full to overflowing, people more intent on the route rather than appreciating the fantastic world class scenery. Mallaig is rammed with no beds unless booked, pubs etc. Campsites are also maxed out. I'd recommend doing it early summer or spring when quieter and nae midges.
