April 11, 201214 yr hi all, me and a mate are travelling down from caithness on the bikes to watch this years ssdt, thing is we can not stay for all off it! so when is the best day to come down between the 4Th and the 12Th? is the start better than the end?? any help would be great, OH and can you camp near there or will i have too book the campsite?? cheers mikey Edited April 12, 201214 yr by mikey_01
April 12, 201214 yr like most people i ll be there for the first two days.. i dont think a route is available yet but generally follows much the same plot. camping i'd pre book at the nevis site ( they have an area specifically for bikers.. great facilities showers etc.) no need to book if you want to chance it as there is loads of space but if you want to be sure.. and great views of ben nevis and the ramblers strolling up and down all day and night
April 12, 201214 yr IMHO the start is better than the end if you've only a couple of days to spare...Sunday weigh in followed by Monday at Leanachen in the morning and Lagnaha (Kentallen) in the afternoon is brill. Best day for me has always been "road race day" on Friday and the sections are all (fairly) close to the road. Camping at Ben Nevis is top notch and am always amazed how many silly f***kers climb at night!
