Aye looking good Jim. Looks like it's going to be a busy tour. Local paper saying that more and more enthusiasts are heading for the loop. My wife spotted among other marks five Porsch GT's heading for the A9 on her way to work this morning. Wife never usually comments  on moments like that... Hey Diane, you still have the large sticker on your car from last year?

Ok, first night's accommodation for Thursday 27th July reserved at Royal Hotel Thurso.
Not quite our original intended location but at this moment everywhere has booked up fast and it's the Glasgow Fair so we did pretty well to get everyone in the same place.
Doubles are £80 B&B, 6 reserved Singles (2 reserved) are £50 B&B, 2 reserved
Friday's should be done tomorrow, most likely in Ullapool. Slight amendment here, first night Rosso + P, also Bill & Robina are staying in different accommodation which is ok with the K9's, so I've cancelled one two of the doubles at the Royal Hotel Thurso. (ref: M/D, Royal Hotel)

Bloody hell  I was struggling there for a wee while, what the hell is a PMR  I did look it up. Physical medical rehabilitation.  Nah it's no that. Private mobile radio..  I'll have one Simon, thanks to my Son in law. Yep I know that petrol station very well. So not really that long to go. I will see you Southerners there. Channel seven I believe?

Ah, was wondering how long it would take you to be lured on here Incidentally, with the happy coincidence that my daughter has just started a printing business the windscreen stickers I can report are now well on their way

dog-food, you mean..? funny you should mention that... in a word, 'no' But i had mentioned to my 'Number 2', who drives a yellow car, with a black roof, that we should produce 'day-cards' which have a overarching route plan, and key details which might feature in stops. Once he returns from a 2CV-spotting holiday in Spain (you think I'm kidding, don't you?), we shall task-up to produce results! Local knowledge, or tips, from the attending team will of course be gratefully received ahead of this task.  " come in Number 2!?" In the meantime, technology prevents me from showing you the finished 'Tour 17 stickers, which are a little bigger than last year...

Sadly I was unable to fit in with the plan for this tour  But I am looking to make my way up anyway, with some friends. We're looking to get up from the 24th to 28th and I'm currently looking to take the Coupé along. Current Rough Route Plan Is your plan below still where you expect to be on those days? Thursday 27th to Sunday 30th July as a core period, similar to last year Projected itinerary Day 1, up East Coast - 1st major rendezvous at House of Bruar coffee stop, drive to Lybster, north of Helmsdale. Option for those that want to take a jaunt to John o' Groats. Day 2 along North Coast westwards, then south - drive to Unapool area (if o/night accommodation allows) along the north coast via Strathy, Tongue, Durness and Kinlochbervie Day 3 down West Coast - drive to Invergarry area via Ullapool, Achnasheen and Dornie Day 4 - return home/extend trip for those that want.
Gone Audi mad!
