Our 2nd trip in the Beast is to Scotland and the North! The Map isn’t perfect but gives a good idea of where we went..
Starting at home we headed up to Edinburgh and spent a day sightseeing in the city. We then headed up through the Cairngorms, ending up camping at a site in Aviemore. From there it was up to Inverness and then a gorgeous drive down the south side of Loch Ness and others before meeting up with friends at a cottage in Spean Bridge. After a day of climbing ‘mountains’ and sampling whisky we headed out for a trip up to the Isle of Skye via Eileen Donan Castle… of Highlander fame. At that point we leave our friends and head down through Glencoe and the Trussochs to the Lake District, spending the night in Keswick. Our last day is a leisurely mooch through the Lakes and Yorkshire Dales before blasting down the A1 to home.
In total 1363 miles were covered in the Beast… amazing 🙂
