Well, we should be on the eurotunnel now on our way to Morzine but with Thursday nights unwelcome quarantine news we’ve changed tack and managed to get a cottage just outside of Drumnadrochit for two weeks which is very welcome after the disappointment of having to cancel.
Have been wanting to visit the highlands for a long time but have never been north of Comrie when we stayed at the Croft a couple of years ago. So with this all being last minute, have not had chance to plan where to go, what to do, so hoping for some advice if possible. Will be with my wife and daughters (7 and 9). Will have MTBs and road bikes plus enough bike packing gear for the four of us to camp.
On the radar from a bit of thread reading are the beaches on the moray coast (Nairn? Findhorn? any others). Keen to see what Aviemore and the surrounds has to offer but any tips on specifics? Saw the recent thread on Golspie so considering heading that way too.
Then there’s scope for going west….Have obviously heard of Torridon and just read about Applecross / kenmore ride which sounds good. How doable is a ride here with family in tow? Scope for a few hours with them off at a beach, pub or other entertainment? Seems a shame not to get something in if possible but will be limited and conscious of risks riding solo if it’s too gnar?
Any other must do’s, stuff for the kids, places to avoid?
