I fancy doing a bit of touring in Scotland next year. I would get the train to Edinburgh or Glasgow to start. Looking at a loop of around 1000 miles. If I fancy doing a bit more, I can always ride home.
First draft of route (clockwise):
Clickage for large picThe two main bits I want to do are The Hebridean Way and NCN7 around The Cairngorms National Park. Oh and obvioulsy Bealach-Na-Ba. Be rude to go all the way up there and not do that. The bits in between are what need fine tuning.
Once around Glasgow, I could stay north of the Clyde and make my way up to Oban via Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park rather than the more circuitous route shown above. Which is nicer?
Coming back from Harris, I've gone with ferry to Skye, but I could get the ferry to Ullapool and attack the west to east part to Inverness that way. Thoughts?
Once in Inverness, it's just a case of generally heading south back to where I started.
If you could share your wisdom, it would be much appreciated.
Ta.
