I'd highly recommend this route with for anyone looking to do a 1600km ride. The days planned out well and sleep stops were well positioned with
Start: Inverness
Night 1: Dunnet
Night 2: Ft William
Night 3: Mull of Galloway Area (we stayed in Stoneykirk)
Night 4: Berwick on Tweed
Night 5: Newtonmore
Finish: InvernessEach day was approx 300 to 320km with the penultimate day being 280 and the final day only 77km (mostly downhill from Slochd).
Having done this LEL seems a lot less daunting next year. The difference I guess will be quality of sleep and showers (bnb/hotel vs sports hall floor).
As no LEL this year I went out for a nice perm ride last week.
