I haven't....but it might be worth re-posting with bikepacking as one word in the title and putting the from-to destinations in too.

I assumed this was gonna be a question about how to pack a bike before sticking it on a plane....
People who have done the ride might not be bothering with looking at this thread.....

Aha, Bike packing and bikepacking are different.
I need to sort my lingo.
Thanks everybody. HTH has bamboozled me though.

Assuming you mean via Glen Dessary, Sourlies and Inverie? I've walked it all and often considered whether or not it would be worth trying with a bike. I reckon it would be more hike than bike, so I've ruled it out.

I've found that loads of cardboard, bubble wrap and pipe lagging is best. Oh, and a great big box.

i not biked there but walked and kayaked most of the area. sections are definitely bike-able but loads of sections are hike only (the rough bounds of Knoydart no less). its a truly amazing part of the world though and in good weather you'd be hard pushed to find anywhere more stunning (or midge infested).

Hide your bike and head up Ladhar Bheinn, Luinne Bheinn or Sgurr na Ciche if you get a chance.
