A group of us were supposed to be heading up in early October for a week. We’d get out on the bikes whilst the girls did.. whatever. The only problem is that the others have dropped out and I’m left wondering what to do.
5 nights max: Tuesday > Sunday
I need somewhere with epic biking (obviously) but pretty much on the door step as I’ll no longer get away with being gone for the whole day, every day.
Girlfriend will want 1-3 very nice country pubs within short walking distance and some easy access walking.
We’ll probably hit up Ben Nevis if the weather holds.
I don’t know the area well – I once drove back from Aviemore a long way round once after Snowboarding. Fort William will have stuff for her to do, but looks pretty grim. Glencoe, Kinlochleven look a bit… well… dull.
I remember that road past Laggan was very pretty and I’ve seen a few nice cottages up that way.
So what am I missing? A nice, pretty small town, good pubs and well located. Oh an a remote shooting lodge 200 yards round the corner that makes you (and the deer) feel in the middle of nowhere…
Moon on a stick 🙂
