      I lived in London for 20 years, I'm happy to never go back 🙂

        I worked in London for 10plus years lived there for a few as the commute each day got tiresome
        Was so happy when I moved to Manchester
        Even with the rain

          If you were to include Wales in your trip, (if you are visiting the UK, pity to miss out a quarter of it!!) Hiut jeans have a factory / factory shop in Cardigan. (Good back story to the company if you like that sort of thing)

              In Ireland, I recommend Nancy’s pub in Ardara. Think we went there 3x in 3-4 days, best memories of the trip. And get yourself a hand knit sweater if you don’t have one.

                          The NC500 looks very interesting.

                          Also, just discovered the West Highland Way for a, 8 day hike....looks right up our alley!

                            There is an excellent Wetherspoons on Gosport High Street, as I suspect many forum members will attest

                                I drove the NC500 a couple of years back and also visited Skye and I could not recommend it enough. Some of the most extreme landscape you will find anywhere in the UK. Stunning.

                                  @hjl360 its on my bucket list too!

                                  @Mizmazzle I think top gear did it many years ago and there's an amazing video from them on it..

                                    @louisbosco I’m going to be looking a lot closer at it that’s for sure.

                                      @Mizmazzle I've done the West Highland way twice. If you have the time, it's well worth it. From the Bridge of Orchy hotel to Fort William just gets better and better.

                                        Me of the right about 26yrs go. This was taken at the end near Fort William. My first time completing it.

                                          @Blueband thanks for the feedback! We really love the idea as we are big backpackers. But not sure we will have time to do the whole length. Thinking we may do half of it. Any suggestions going that route?

                                          In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

                                            This route is doable at a good pace in 2.5/ 3 days. First night you can stay at the Bridge of Orchy hotel. They have hotel rooms and lodge rooms. Second night stop at the kings house hotel in Glencoe. Again, there are hotels rooms, I think there maybe other types of accommodation as well. I tented it at this location, but it may not be an option for yourselves. Day 3 head to Fort william to complete your journey.
