    North coast 500

    Morning all and happy new year!!

    Anyone on here done the North coast 500?

    If so, how many days did you take, anywhere you visited/stopped off at, maybe even what car you done it in.

    Fancy it as a bit of a 2019 bucket list

    Cheers
    Neil

    Ive been talking about doing this with a pal in our Escorts this year. I reckon we could do it in 4 days. 1 day for travelling (he lives in Berkshire)to & from the jump off point & 2 days for the driving. But we may end up doing the SOSE Highland Tour instead. Theres quite a bit of info on google if you do a search

    This was one of my favourite vids

    So one of the guys I will be doing it with is from teeside so a bit further to travel than me (central scotland)

    We were looking at 3 nights total. Felt this was do able. Few other people I work offshore with have done it and have said the west coast is stunning but once up to thurso it's a bit bleak. They suggested missing this out but then you can't say you have done it lol

    Unfortunately my MK2 RS2000 won't be ready for it as cosworth engine has just been first fitted and got a bit of fabrication to be done so not looking like this summer.

    I'll be in my B7 RS4 and my mate in his B8 RS4 so will still be fun I'm sure.

    Anyone else done it before?

    The west coast definitely has lots more to see, stunning views too.
