Glenshieldaig Forest, out towards Torridon has a real in-the-middle-of-nowhere feel. Very wild, rocky, bit barren. Challenging little road to get there, not far from Torridon village and loch, also near to Applecross on the west coast. I think I would top up with fuel before heading up there, nearest garage on Shiel Bridge to Kyle of Lochalsh road? Not sure about water sources out there, but could fill a couple of bottles before you go. Torridon village has a small grocery store. Ground is very rocky and uneven, so might be better to bivvy rather than tent, if you can rig up decent midgie protection. I very much doubt that anyone would disturb you on that road, didn't see much traffic even in the middle of the day.

I love this idea, shame about the rockyness

Thanks for the suggestions so far guys. Well first if all I will be taking my FZS600, the plan is to stay in a tent, I haven't wild camped before but I certainly have encountered a cold night or two camping, so I plan to pack plenty of warm clothing. Ideally I'd love to at least keep the bike in sight but happy to camp quite far from the roadside. The West Coast would be perfect maybe midway into Scotland maybe even venturing up as far as Pitt lochry (I apologies if I have Mis-spelt the name)

Hi guys,

I'm planning a 4 day wild camping trip to Scotland, in September. Does anyone have any suggestions as to destinations? I'm hoping to get right into the wilderness, find a loch all to myself, no sign of human life, freedom really. I'm sure you get the idea. Any suggestions would be welcome :)

Thanks.

Nice to finally meet you. Well I can honestly tell you that the bike is doing great and well looked after. I can understand why you miss it as it is such a pleasure to ride. Hopefully Heather and I will go for a ride out in the sun tomorrow she lives being on it as much as I do. Ill post some nice pics too as we gather them.

Yeah, Sunday was going to be the day but due to bad weather here we didn't get the nice sun we hoped for. She still wants to pose on the fazer though and with a bit of luck and sunshine it will be this weekend.

hi fzsteely........wow that is clean,in particular those downpipes......mmmmmmm   well ,we all think you have the perfect wife and i am a bit disapointed that you have not included heather in the picture  :( :( :( :(   but , i`ve spotted a flaw in an otherwise perfect partner........why black and not the superior red ?    ooowwwwwwwwww heather  :o

I must admit the Red FZS600 has always been a temptation but I'm more than happy with the Black colour. I've heard Black bikes are faster anyway lol. As for including Heather in a pic, she's hoping to get a pic taken this Sunday, it's supposed to be nice weather anyway.

Yeah trying to keep it looking polished and tidy for Summer. I think they are bikes that will look after you if you treat them with the same respect

Finally a picture of my first ever ride on the Fazer taken just over a week ago. After nearly 3 years on a Suzuki GS500 the Fazer felt as smooth as a magic carpet!
