This guidebook describes a 528-mile cycling route in northern
Scotland. Starting and finishing in the highland capital Inverness,
the circular route passes through the ancient counties and
districts of Wester Ross, Sutherland, Caithness, Easter Ross and
the Black Isle and is suitable for mountain, touring and road
bikes: the going is entirely on asphalt-surfaced roads, though many
are quiet with little traffic. The circuit can be comfortably
completed in a fortnight. Featuring clear and concise route
description, together with 1:150,000 mapping, gradient profiles,
suggested schedules and invaluable practical information -
including complete lists of all hostel/bunkhouse accommodation,
official campsites and services for cyclists and advice on other
accommodation and refreshment opportunities, this guidebook
provides all the information needed to plan and execute a terrific
cycle tour. Alternative routes are provided in case you should wish
to avoid the steep ascent of Bealach na Ba or the undulating Assynt
peninsula, or to include the busier A9 east coast road. The route
boasts stunning scenery and rich historical interest and cyclists
will be treated to mile upon mile of unspoilt wilderness. The
journey takes in varied landscapes of craggy mountains, verdant
glens, rolling peat moorland dotted with lochs and wild rugged
coastlines - and if the scenery isn't enough, there are many
distilleries and micro-breweries on or near the route guaranteed to
entice. With notes on history, geology, wildlife and local points
of interest, the guide offers a perfect way to get to know
Scotland's captivating far north.
