I've done bits and pieces, but that was in a 120d M sport, not sure I'd want to be in a campervan...

There is a clip on YouTube of someone driving round the Nürburgring in one.

NC500 is really just nice scenery rather than things to do apart from walks and photography. If you have time suggest a detour to Orkneys, culturally lots to see there.

It is probably rammed just now. Loads of camper vans on the road due to Staycations. As others have said, not much to do and very little infrastructure. Beware of the Supercars and bikes hooning it round in a day.

I was thinking of doing this next year. Saw a program about hotels, and it looked fun/possible.

I was thinking of doing it on my bike. Sounds like it would be more relaxing to take on the m25...
yes its school holidays too. i go past the local campervan hire place when walking the dog, not seen one in there in weeks, which i take to mean every one of them is out on hire the whole time

That's not a campervan. That's a mobile home?
I got the badge for campervan in Scotland. 40 Years ago in a VW campervan.

Good luck on the Bealach na Ba in that.
I have done nearly all of it in bit's and it is beautiful, if you are going to be time restricted and don't have time to visit the Pie shop at Lochinver, Applecross etc I would leave it to another time.
Not to be rushed, but 5 full days should be OK.
ps. Last time I was at the top of the Bealach it was thick fog and my fellow travellers in their MacLaren, Red E Type, yellow Porche etc were looking a bit queezy.

My mate did it recently in his M4. I guess it's a single lane carriageway so you don't need indicators?

They are handy to indicate to an oncoming vehicle that you are pulling into a passing place....(btw I don't know what an M4 is...

I prefer the one of Sabine Schmitz's effort with Top Gear to get round the Nurburgring in 10 mins - in a Ford Transit!
