@giofox said "An Turas Mor looks like a great route, takes in most of the BD, and a good part of it is also on the HT550 and GB duro. I did a good part of it and it's nice, but would only follow it to the point where it turns left onto Glen Golly River and avoid that. You can instead follow the GB Duro route there and either go straight for the north coast (I hear Kearvaig Bothy is ace) or follow the route to JOG."

the day-by-day route that doesn't use Glen Golly:

giofox again: "The path up to Glen Golly River is somewhat rideable if your stubborn, although the climb up to Creag Staonsaid is steep/loose and will require a bit of hiking. The route then goes down to Loch Dionard, but I could not see any way around the Loch from routes/satellite/heatmaps, so I avoided and chose to follow the HT550. What followed was 4/5h hike a bike, both up and down, not pleasant.
I'd stick to the magenta option."
hippy-
Yeah, as you say in your blog, that Dionard direction seems to be the 'harder' option. I don't see a path around that Loch either (looks stunning though), but a few walking sites claim there is one. I'm going to read your full write up now! (Only got to part 3 before.)

Have read your full write up, very useful. Thinking to mix this Badger/An Turas with National Cycle route 7 and make some kind of loop. Like the idea of flat pedals and trainers.

Actually sounds fun! Thinking to go at a very easy pace, so I'd hopefully have time for a paddle.
