First night stayed in a pod thingy at the Appletree campsite, very cramped because there were 4 of us, shower block was fine, showers were piping hot! We ate at the Appletree inn which was great, the weather made it! No midges at night but when we left at 7.30am they were making up for lost time!! Breakfast was had in Portree.
Second night we stayed in the premier inn in the centre of Inverness which was great, tea at Jimmy Chungs and a couple of shandies at Jonny Fox's downstairs. Breakfast was £8.95 which was excellent and the room was great. Packed the bikes in the cycle racks at the back of the premier inn, was gonna be £10 per bike but they let us use the cycle racks for free.

Cheers

Schmo, my first trip away on the bike, brilliant. Long run back down the A9, but not as bad as being in a car! Enjoy your trip.

In fairness we 'Tore the arse' out of it :) huge cooked breakfast, multiple coffees, and buns, probably worth the price, same price on Skye as well.
