johna Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 I am taking a week off work to tour the islands and or the west coast. I have a ticket from Cal Mac that allows me to visit any island during that time. I would like to eventually get to the top i.e Durness. Also I would like to do loads of miles and lose this weight that I keep talking about. Anyone got any a advice on routes etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have fun you'll be half fit on your return Cheers Robert [/b] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 I would miss out Arran, Kintyre etc (you can easily do Arran/Islay/Jura in a long weekend so best save it for another time) and take the train to Oban, ferry to Barra (don't miss out Vatersay) and head up the island chain to Harris/Lewis then on to Skye, Mallaig (visit Camusdarach beach) and down to Ardnamurchan then a couple of days on Mull/Iona and back to Oban....
