A weekend adventure on the gravel bikes in February was top fun. This route included a large section of the North Coast 500 and was surprisingly quiet for cycling (maybe as it was a bit wet and windy!)
This 90 mile route makes a fantastic overnight trip showing some fantastic scenery typical of the North Coast 500 cycle route:
Lochcarron to Applecross to Sheildaig DAY 1 – 43 miles with 5,000 feet of ascent.
We enjoyed lunch at the Applecrosse Inn. We stayed in Sheildaig Village.
Sheildaig to Kinlochewe, to Achnasheen to Lochcarron DAY 2 – 47 miles with 2,000 feet of ascent.
We left Sheildaig and stopped for coffee at Kinlochewe Stores after around 18 miles. Later in the year there is a cafe by Achnasheen but this was closed in February. For the full 90 mile route see google maps – click here.
