Hi All,
some help needed - the club has been contacted by an independent television production company who are planning an ex-military veterans Land Rover tour round the north of Scotland, and to the most northerly point of the British Isles. This will be a "charity" run, filmed by a professional company in the hope of selling the resulting output to broadcasters in the UK and abroad.
The outline plan is to congregate at the Commandos memorial at Spean Bridge, then drive round the west coast and northerly sections of the North Coast 500 route (
http://www.northcoast500.com/) to Scrabster (this section, over 2 days) then take a ferry to Shetland, with further ferries to end up at Skaw. This will take place in May 2017, and they hope to have a convoy of around 20 vehicles.
The route will take in some well known iconic driving locations such as the Bealach na Ba pass to Applecross, Kylesku Bridge etc., but they are also keen to get in some off-roading, and driving on beaches. Their request to us is to help them with finding some suitable locations for off-roading and beach access, and gaining permission from land owners.
*** Does anyone have any ideas, local knowledge or know of any landowners in those parts of the country that we could help them out with.
Once their plans develop further, and they get the details sorted out, they would also be keen to have a few of our members helping them out on sections of the route as local guides / marshals.
So, firstly, does anyone have any ideas for off-roading in the far northwest, or any landowners contacts?
thanks, Alan
