I did the hardnott pass on a sportsbike wasn’t really going to do it with the car, i don’t really see the point. Plenty of roads in the lakes to have some fun. The whole idea was to split the trip going north so not to get to Inverness drained out of energy.
However by the look of things I’m going to do it solo anyway so i may bump with some people while I’m there, then I may not.
