I thought Dave was going to Orkney not taking part in the Paris Dakar Rally!

there's more ways than 1 to skin a cat!
Depends on what sort of route you like to drive and what the traffic is doing on the day, its always good to have alternative routes!!!

Now, now, no falling out I think I understand the route options

What about photo opportunities not to be missed whilst on the Orkney Islands?

Anybody got any pictures they would like to share?

Are there any good campsites?

2 1/2 hours Inverness to Thurso even at a busy time of day. I do that run regularly and often manage it in 2 hrs 15 driving a van at max 50mph. Unless you are including stops for photography
Also I think you should do Scotch Corner - Inverness via Perth and the A9 in quite a bit less than 8 hours.

Back in the 70's I had a friend who lived near Kirkwall who drove a Ford Capri. He would sometimes do the complete journey to visit his Mum in London in one day. That was in the days before speed cameras, of course
