I did the NC500 in Mar '18 and loved it, due to lack of time I did it in a single day back then (about 16-17 hrs IIRC)
This time round I decided not to do the whole route, being August I expected it to be much busier and it was! Endless Motorhomes, thousands of them.
I wanted to include the Isle of Skye too this time.
I took a few potato snaps I thought I would share.
Day 1, Inverness - Thurso (11-12hr drive with some brief stops)
Day 2, Thurso - Isle of Skye (same 11-12 hrs again)
Day 3, A few hours around Skye then home (12 hrs)
Inverness Castle
Bealach ‘na Ba (at 6am this road is amazing, definitely the highlight of the trip)
Applecross Inn
Bridge onto the Isle of Skye
Kyleakin (Skye)
I'm hoping to go back next spring, hopefully with even more time and to explore away from the NC500 route.. If anyone knows any good roads off the NC500 on the west coast please post them and I'll create a little list for next time.
Cheers
