Nc500 Best Time To Do It

We were there last September, arrived on the Saturday before the Krankie Goblin slammed the door on tourists. Had a great 12 days, based in Newtonmore in the Cairngorms for 7 nights and then headed West for NC500. Bealach Na Ba is a stunning climb, but watch out for the idiots in Bongo vans, especially on the hairpins at the top. It was a dry road for us, but I can imagine it being a problem if wet. After dropping to the Westerross coast road, we spent 2 nights in B&Bs until we got to John O.Groats. We turned around and retraced our route to avoid the east coast road which has a reputation for being boring. We took the A897 down to meet the A9 back to Inverness.

A couple of wet days, which didn't spoil the trip. I will do it again this year as soon as we are allowed out of the house!

Strange how people see things differently
when we came down the East coast
thought it was absolutely terrific the views and the roads
