I saw an article about this route in a magazine about 10 years ago, but can't remember any of the details. It was somewhere up in the highlands and involved leaving the car one side, cycling over to the other (day 1) stay overnight in a b&b, then cycle back to the car (day 2). I think it was about 45km or 45m each way, because of the way the coastline runs, and was pretty much all off road.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? I'd love any details or suggestions. Cheers!
Fort William to Inverness?
Great Glen cycle path or something? more than 45miles I would think
Ullapool to Bonar Bridge and back?
stuartie_c, Ullapool rings a bell, and I've just looked that up on google maps and it looks about right! Do you have any details of the route, or know where I could find some?
You could always do the lowland version - glasgow to falkirk via the forth and clyde canal.
Google is your friend - here is a route and report.
Edit
Looking at memory map there appears to be an obvious doubletrack route the whole way
The guys at Golspie do the Bonar Bridge -Ullapool regularly.
If you can get in touch with them they may be able to help you with the route.
Swayndo of this parish has done such a ride several times, one of which was in the last few months. If he doesn't pop up soon look him up and mail him.
its the Ullapool - Bonat Bridge ride you're thinking of. Its about 55-60K and estimated 5 hours of riding. MBR covered it about 4 years ago I think. If you do a google search on Ullapool C2C, you'll find some info. I'm thinking of doing it next year. I believe its not too technical and only climbs up to about 300m - mostly on double track I understand. check out this link http://www.northern-times.co.uk/news/fullstory.php/aid/2129/Across_Scotland_by_bike__ndash;_with_the_scars_to_prove_it!.html
