When the original volume of Biker's Britain came out, I got one piece of feedback that really struck me. Well, it was almost the same piece of feedback from two people… but it they had opposing views. One of them told me the riding days for the tours were too long; the other told me they were too short.

​

So when I put together Bikers' Britain: The Tours, I tried to keep everyone happy. There was the relaxed, lower-mile three-day "Easy" Scotland tour… and then there was this High Mile tour. 

​

This is based on a trip I did with my Lincolnshire riding buddies – they'll remember it because while we left our wives slapping on suncream in heatwave, it was heaving down with rain in the Highlands. That didn't spoil the trip, though – if anything it added to the atmosphere. 

​

These are big days crossing one of Europe's last great wildernesses… but also skipping through cities and stopping on Skye. It's an epic ride whatever the weather. It's a hardcore ride, certainly – but experienced riders who want a longer day in the saddle will love it.
