If you’ve not been up that way for a couple of years, be prepared for more traffic than you’ve seen before. The NC500 has attracted all sorts.
Tell me about it - I really noticed the difference in May (last time up there was 2014, I think). Getting buzzed by a gang of supercars up Struie Hill wasn't fun. And I couldn't believe how busy some of the roads were, even north of Ullapool. Mind, offroad from Ullapool to Ardgay was quiet
I overtook* this beastie up the pass, and spotted it near Ullapool a couple of days later.
As everyone who's coming is camping or campervanning, we've moved basecamp from Torridon to Lochcarron, which is a bit farther south (and better for trains). Hopefully no one's going to Torridon...
*No really, it was going that slowly.
