• Hi everyone.

    Is anyone interested in coming up to Scotland for some cycle touring / camping through the highlands?

    I'm thinking a long weekend doing the 200 odd miles from Glasgow to Inverness sometime at the end of the month.

  • I've been planning on doing Glasgow (where I live) to Inverness but via a different route.

    I want to go Glasgow > Creiff > Glen Almond > Loch Tay (via a petty rough foot/farm path) > Laggan > Fort Augustus (via Gen. Wades military road/ Corrieyairick Pass) > Inverness (via the quiet side of the Loch and including a night in/around Boleskine).

    I don't have time off at the end of the month either.

  • My girlfriend and I were thinking of doing something like this in August - but we're limited to road tyres (hipster clearances/superlight touring style). Do you guys know of good paved routes that follow the same way as route 7?

  • Bump - I was supposed to do some rambling around Loch London but things have changed and am now looking at a tour. Not exactly Glasgow to Inverness, but part of the NCR 7. Something like: Glasgow > Killin > Perth (via Tay) > Edinburgh.

    Having said that, I have no idea if this is a terrible idea. Touring bikes with road tyres. Thoughts?

  • That Wades Road stretch is fucking awful, bring your boots lots of walking

  • Me and my pal might be up for this. We did Campbletown to Oban on the new route on SS which was stunning. What dates?

  • Walking coz of steepness or roughness of terrain?
