  • how was it for cars?

    I got pretty annoyed with the long convoys of VW clubs/twats in ferrari/aston martins/porsches that were doing it when I went round. I think there must have been about 45 VW campers with their legendary 60 horsepower that didn't really mix with passing places on single track roads and we seemed to have to wait half an hour for every day... locals must be delighted too. It is pretty glorious but made me want to stay off the beaten track on some sections.

  • It was pretty much deserted apart from the A9. On the first 4 days I probably got overtaken by 20 cars a day and saw about 1 other rider a day. Lots of motorbikes though, but all were pretty good.

  • Nice, I think I was straddling a bank holiday of some sort so maybe just unlucky-would be shit if it was like that all the time.

    Definitely agree it's better missing the A9 section, rubbish/stressful road, poor camping options compared to the western side too.
