Aye Simon, Kylesku bridge & beyond on the A894, stunning scenery again. If anyone saw the last episode of Top Gear that bit of road was filmed by a drone when they were driving a Mustang. Note to Jim......start practising with drone camera.......
I'm an old git & happy with it,most of the time

Aye great area. Ullapool for starters is a good shout. Just up the road you have lochinver & all the mountains, sulliven for example. Old man of stoer sea stack, then you've got kylesku bridge & beyond, the hotel is meant to very good indeed. I'm only suggesting..... Soo much to choose from.

Hey Rosso, I think I might be aware of Achmelvich- although I've never stayed there. Is that the one 'in the village', but round the corner towards the sea, so to speak? I've always fancied that!
We can go as far, or for as long for, as everyone is comfortable with.
Have you been to John O'Groats before yourselves, Rosso..? Achmelvich is the beach with the campsite just by the side and then you have the wee village of Lochinver. Beautiful beach it is too. I took Pauline camping there one of first camping trips some years ago. Nope. I'd love to put John O'Groats on the list if everyone was happy with that as stop. What about you Jim have you been?

That'll be terrific
What's the venue? Thurso West Church, which is apparently warm and has a quality Steinway Hmm, might send a flier to Dianne

HELLO, yes, Dunnet Head is definitely a beautiful place and the most northerly point of the mainland Uk. There is a lovely walk along the cliffs and you can see Orkney, the No 1 place to visit for cruise ships and folk who love archaeology, amazing scenery, rare birds, good food,drink,music and tiffin.
JOG has had a major facelift, not been there since. It used to be pretty grim, but I'm sure it's better now.
Mey is a good stop, in between JOG and Dunnet. Queen mum had her castle there and the grounds and gardens are lovely. Will have to check when it's open.
Definitely on for the tour, not sure about camping, sleeping in the coupe ???????????
Hey Simon, do send me a flier.

Have been watching some of the 2016 dash cam footage this evening. Great memories. Do hope the 2017 tour goes every bit as well for you all. Any update on plans?

Going North on the A9

hello Bernard,
as it happens, I have been talking about this a lot recently.
However, the unavailability of another key-planning member, who shall remain nameless, but who drives a yellow car with a black roof, has prevented any evolution of the core concept.
However, as Simon has just driven right up the A9 to Thurso, I expect when I see him next week, enthusiasm will be to-notch for planning...!
watch this space...

I'm going to be really contentious here. It happens that FCSS 10th anniversary event is down in the diary for 17th June, which has the potential to coincide with another North of Scotland Tour if last year's dates are anything to go by. Would anyone consider postponing our Scottish-based meet to the following year in order to attend what is looking like the biggest UK event to happen for a long time, with scores of coupes and folk even coming from abroad? We can break the journey on the way there and back anywhere to enjoy great drives/scenery, e.g. Horseshoe Pass near Llangollen or Cat and Fiddle near Macclesfield....... I'm thinking it makes sense! Edit: the downside of this of course is that it's less likely to appeal to the northern-most of coupe-owners .....Dianne, jimboy...

The FCSS event will be brilliant. Gutted I'll be at work for that one. Any reason not to do a Scottish run later in the year? Fleeting possibility I could join in myself if it happens a week or two into September.

I'd be interested as well since I'm originally from as north as north can go on the mainland. Just need to get my act together and get the LE on the road. Only been garaged for the last 13 years.
