Ullapool
Once we got off the boat our hotel was right at the exit of the dock. We took a walking tour of the town of Ullapool. There are lots of riders here checked in and waiting for the ferry in the morning.

We travelled past Castletown to the lands end at John o Groats. “Ewan and Charlie” started their long way down from this signpost. The spot is named after the ferryman who charged a groat to cross on the boat to the Orkney Islands to the north.

Whiskey
Then we finally started east again and we continued on the small roads to get to Charletown of Aberlour. This is the center of the Speyside whiskey-making region. We camped here despite the poor weather. We had booked tours at Aberlour and at The Macallum. We also managed a circle walk around the village to the local falls and the old footbridge over the river Spey.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
