Hey, I’m Ross 👋🏻
I started Roam with Ross to inspire more people to get outdoors and explore the incredible adventures around the world.
From hiking trails to mountain climbs and scenic drives, I’ve travelled the world chasing adventure and now I help others do the same through custom travel itineraries.
Planning the NC500 can feel overwhelming, there’s so much to see and you don’t want to miss the best bits.
That’s where I come in.
I’ve helped over 900 travellers save hours of research, travel stress-free and plan unforgettable Scotland trips (and many more across the UK).

FAQs
Why should I pay for this instead of planning it myself?
Most travellers spend hours (often days) researching the NC500.
This service removes planning overwhelm, avoids common routing mistakes, and ensures your trip flows smoothly from start to finish.
Considering most NC500 trips cost £1,500 – £4,000+, this small upfront investment often saves significant time, stress, and costly booking errors.
What’s the difference between a Custom Itinerary and an Itinerary Review?
A Custom Itinerary is built entirely from scratch around your trip. I plan your route, overnight stops, pacing, and recommendations based on how you travel.
An Itinerary Review is for travellers who already have a route planned and simply want expert feedback, refinements, and improvements.
If you already have a full plan, the review service is likely the better fit.
I’m not sure if I need a full custom itinerary
If you already have a rough route or draft plan, my Itinerary Review service may be the better option.
Is this worth it if I’ve already bought your guidebook?
Yes, if you want a fully tailored route.
The guide is perfect for independent planners who enjoy building their own trip.
This service is for travellers who want everything professionally structured around their exact plans.
What if I’d like changes after receiving it?
Minor adjustments and refinements are completely normal.
The goal is to ensure your trip feels right for you.
What if I already have some bookings made?
That’s absolutely fine.
I’ll design your itinerary around any fixed locations, dates, or commitments you already have.
How personalised is the itinerary?
Completely personalised.
Your route is designed around:
• Travel dates
• Trip duration
• Budget & accommodation style
• Driving tolerance
• Interests (hiking, photography, food, etc.)
• Travel style (fast-paced vs relaxed)
No generic templates.
Do you book accommodation for me?
No, but I provide carefully selected recommendations based on your budget, style, and preferences.
This gives you flexibility while removing the stress of deciding where to stay.
How long does it take to receive my itinerary?
Delivery typically takes a 10 working days depending on current demand.
If you’re working to a tight deadline, just mention this when booking.
Can you plan camper van or motorhome routes?
Yes. Many customers travel by camper van or motorhome.
Routes are designed with realistic drive times, suitable roads, overnight stop logic, and pacing that works for larger vehicles.
Can I use it the digital guide on my phone?
Yes. The digital part of this guide is delivered as a digital PDF that works on any device.
You can open it on your phone, and the interactive maps are fully mobile friendly, making it easy to navigate while you’re on the road. 📍🗺️
Do I need to follow the itinerary exactly?
Not at all. The itineraries are designed as flexible frameworks.
You can skip stops, stay longer, or mix sections depending on your travel style, time, and weather.
Is this guide suitable for first-time NC500 travellers?
Yes. The guide is designed for both first-time visitors and returning travellers.
Everything is structured day by day, with clear routes and stop suggestions, so you always know where to go next without needing prior knowledge of the NC500.
What if I change my travel dates?
No problem. The routes and recommendations aren’t tied to specific dates and work year round.
You can easily adjust your plans, as the itineraries are designed with flexibility in mind, including optional stops, rest days, and alternative routes depending on weather or timing. 😊
We really enjoyed our road trip route plan, thank you Ross for all the help. Looking forward to planning our Lake District trip now.
Ross did the most amazing job and he was very helpful with our many questions
Having our own route plan was so handy and I'm going to use Ross again for our New Zealand trip next year. It had exactly what we wanted to see along the route and the accomodation picks were fantastic
Our personalised route took our exact motorhome size and travel needs into account (we have a dog). Ross was great and we loved every part of the NC500.
This felt like having a local expert plan our entire NC500 trip for us. We never once questioned where we were going or why.
What we loved most was how smoothly each day connected to the next and the recomedned places to stay. There is so much to see and we felt that we just managed to squeeze it all in. We would suggest at least 10 days
