We've decided to take some time off work to do things that we've always wanted to but never had the time.

Midlife crisis fully in place (I turned 50 a couple of weeks ago), we are planning on doing the North Coast 500. This is something that has appealed for a long time and now we can actually do it.

We are flexible on duration, but anticipate between 7-10 days, starting from Inverness. Well, we'll actually start from Leicester and drive to Gretna, stop over night there and then to Inverness, and start the 500 the following day.

Space in the car will be tight as we'll be in a two seater. Has anyone on the forum any experience of this, and if so, any tips would be very much appreciated. I've done a lot of reading up but real life experiences count for more.

Cheers,

JK
