Departing from the pretty village of Pooley Bridge in the Lake District National Park, this very special 6 day adventure will lead you through some of the U.K and Scotlands most stunning and picturesque National Parks. Tracing a route including; The Galloway Forest, Loch Lomond & Trossachs, Cairngorm Mountains – with “Tea @The Shee”, you’ll ride much of the world famous North Coast 500 route along Scotlands west, north and east coasts including the beautifully tranquil Loch Assynt, Durness, Dunnet Head (mainland Britain’s most northerly point) and not
forgetting John O’Groats for photographs at the signpost!
West and North coasts ridden, you’ll be guided south past Inverness, Fort William in the shadow of majestic Ben Nevis, and onwards through the truly magnificent, awe-inspiring Glen Coe; a place of majestic mountains, tranquil Lochs and vast open space….. quite simply Glen Coe is jaw dropping in its beauty and splendour.
Following which a visit to The Green Welly Shop for fuel for body & bike is a must! Sweeping through central Scotland, across the northern-most reaches of the Trossachs, crossing the iconic Forth Road Bridge our route takes you to the Beautiful Borders and a sprint along its splendid roads, before heading south across the border into England and Kielder Forest.
Finally you carve a huge sweeping “S” across the North of England riding through 3 of Englands most inspiring national parks; Northumberland, Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales, bringing to an end your fabulous 6 day Redee Adventure in the charming hamlet of Kettlesing Bottom.
West and north coasts of the NC500 complete, today its all about the route south and the east coast. However first is the breath taking Dunnet Head
(The true most northern point of mainland Britain) and a stop for photographs, back on the bike for a short hop and another stop, this time at the world famous John O'Groats signpost for more photographs at this iconic location. Now its back to the NC500 taking adventurers south as it follows the east coast, passing the city of Inverness (The official start and finish points of the NC500), then onto stunning and tranquil Loch Ness whose shores the route follows; keep eyes peeled for "Nessie" and the ruins of 16th century Urqhart Castle on the lakeshore. No trip to this area of Scotland would be complete without an excursion to the Commando Memorial, its here respects can be payed to the men of the original British
Commando Forces raised during World War II. The memorial overlooks the
training areas of the Commando Training Depot established in 1942 at
Achnacarry Castle. Respects payed its a short ride to the final destination of the day, Fort William in the shadow of magnificent Ben Nevis.
The route from Denholm to Kettlesing Bottom covers over 210 glorious, twisting miles as it traces a path up hill and down dale across beautiful
northern England, taking in scenic Kielder Water and 3 national parks for good measure. Today maybe the last group day of this tour but it doesn't mean the end of spectacular sights and snaking roads. The mountains may have been ridden, but there are still thrills aplenty as the route passing through the vast Northumberland National Park, racing past Hadrian's Wall, snaking across the North Pennines, making progress onwards and through the spectacular Lake District. And finally into the Yorkshire Dales and its many moods; it can be wild and windswept on exposed hills and dales or quietly tranquil in beautiful valleys, towns and villages. It's here in the beauty of Yorkshire that your adventure must sadly come to an end, but with one further delight in store - The Queens Head Inn. The Queens Head, situated in the charming hamlet of Kettlesing Bottom, is a true delight full of character and charm, and its here you'll spend your final evening eating splendid pub food, reminiscing with new friends about the fabulous 6 day Redee Adventure you've experienced, sampling Yorkshires finest ales.
