  • We did Gairloch to outside Inverness in a day fully loaded and it really wasn't bad at all. Except the horrendous head wind that made we want to throw my bike in a loch :)
    I had no issues with traffic on the A832. There was hardly anyone around and everyone overtook with buckets of room.
    Even the A835 which was busier and faster was still relatively easy going and stressless.

    We did a very similar trip last year. Let me know if you need any pointers or tips.

  • Cool, I immediately dismissed the A835 to be honest! We'll be doing Applecross to Inverness on the Sunday so we'll just go as far as we can before the last train to Edinburgh. Last train from Inverness is 18:55 but it's already 110km from Applecross to Garve, highly doubt we can make it all the way!

    Solid ride anyway, the thought of doing 100km into a headwind makes me want to cry!

  • Yeah, we had a different route originally but decided to head back inland a day early and do some riding around Inverness and Loch Ness area. We were apprehensive about the A835 but it was all good. Even stopped to take in some really pretty waterfalls.
