Default Short Way Up
3 men, 2 bikes an STI support vehicle and 1 dream but that’s another story and really not publishable on here

Yes Ewan, Charlie and their support teams have done the Long way round, and the Long way Down, so we intrepid WYIOC’ers made the usual meticulous plans, and the journey was born.
(not too much interest on the initial thread understandably with the busy show season)

Short way up.


29th August 2008 –

The team:- Ewan Mc’Shorty, Charlie the pole Ward and Mr. Jock Strap (in support)

The transport:- Varadero 1000, VRF800 and an STI8.

The plan, to travel up to Scotland passing Glasgow, then pushing further north past loch Lomand, to our first overnight stop.
The first part of this epic ok ok (short in comparison) journey around 300miles.

After a well deserved rest, a couple of the local establishments finest and a night tucked up under the stars, we will travel around the mountains and lochs of Scotland. Soaking in the scenery and exploring one another’s




Limits of adhesion, on the finest roads Scotland has to offer.







Good Times.


Updates and pics to follow:-

We were gonna change the name to Wrong Way Down, but the t-shirts were already in production.

Lessons learned?

Well, if it rains bikers get wet. And it did, ALL the way home for some 450+ miles.

If it rains, Scooby owners stay dry until bikers who left their gloves in the Scoob decide they want them.

McLattes taste even better when you're soaked to the bone

Kyle of Lochalsh to Wakefield is do-able in one day

...but there's **** all to do in the Kyle of Lochalsh

Next time, we're going over the bridge to Skye

Thanks for keeping me cheered with the MMS's... How jealous am I? A lot. That's how much.

But hey ho, Micks arse looks better each time I accidentally open that text....
