Great write up , looking forward to pt 3.
The Abriachan cafe is err, interesting .
Was there in the snow in February and had hot chocolate sat outside with mine host.
Definitely a memorable experience!
Enjoyed the write up and was particularlly interested as I’d just booked the Alltbeithe Youth Hostel for a trip in August. Planning to ride from Cannich with my wife and son… overnight at the hostel and back out the same way the next day. Sounds like I picked the right bit of the trail to do 🙂
Cheers… will give it a go. Also planning on your Ullapool to Bonar Bridge route,just one way though. Probably solo on that as I think it might be a bit far for my wife and son.
That subterranean arch is probably part of the hydro schemes. Maybe access to the tunnel taking water from Loch Beinn a’ Mheadhoin to Fasnakyle power station. I spotted a similar thing in Strathfarrar recently. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4955765
I’m planning on having a go at the Affric Kintail Way sometime. Not sure whether to run/walk it or on bike. And which direction – from west to east would be easier for getting a train or bus to the start.
