Part 1 of day 3 of our motorcycle trip around the NC500, this time we head from Scourie to Ullapool, taking in the Drumbeg loop, sometimes known as the Wee Mad Road. Another set of fantastic motorbike roads.

@@johncarmichael8367 it's a crazy little road. Just wish the go pro picked up how steap it is in places, those that's never been don't get any indication as to the ups and downs, twists and turns. Thanks 😁

@user-cg7oy2dm5u funnily enough, we said after this trip we should try it the other way. We've gone this way a few times now. I'd imagine it seems a completely different trip. Many thanks for subscribing...Liz and Rich 😁

@RidingThroughGrief thanks for watching. We will definitely be doing it again, maybe the other way round? Not sure yet.

Many great roads, enjoyed the video, everyone seems to miss out the famous pie shop/cafe in Lochinver. The roads are very busy now, I lived in Inverness until 91 and apart from the town centre it was all very quiet around the highlands. Last time I visited I couldn’t believe the increase in traffic. What’s really annoying and can be a bit more dangerous especially for bikers are drivers who have no idea how to drive on single track roads and take the barging through city attitude with them. When poor driving skill is put together with a camper van that doesn’t fit the road it can be a recipe for disaster.

I must admit I didn't know about the pie shop otherwise we'd have been straight in there 😂😂 We've been going up there since the late 90s/early 2000s and have also noticed a huge increase in traffic. Don't get me started on some of the campers/motorhomes, last year one came belting down a single track road, we'd stopped and pulled over yet he still managed to hit my pannier, fortunately there was no damage other than a white paint mark on it but could have been so much worse. Although we have a camper and have done that route before, there's no way we'd do it again due to the stigma attached to them and bad driving that tars everyone with the same brush. Plus it much better on the bikes😊

@@LizAndRichGo We had an incident with a camper back in 2018. We followed it with three or four cars between us down miles of single track, they pulled over letting the cars pass. I kept well back then when the single track ended I went to overtake. He pulled over onto the other side blocking the road, I thought it was just an error not watching what he was doing but then he repeated this another four times before we managed to pass.
