Nice.

If it makes you feel any better, TJ “managed” the Ockle bit with a tandem 😜

Looks like you got some good weather – presumably the same spell as PostieRich further up in Knoydart. Did you not fancy nipping out to the lighthouse at Ardnamurchan Point or did you need to catch the ferry over to Tobermory?

Took my bike for a walk thru a swamp you mean scotroutes?

The Ockle hike added so much time on I would have missed the ferry, unfortunate but it gives me a(nother) good reason to go back.

The hike wasn’t that bad tbh. I’m fairly used to scrambling up rocky scottish peaks (without bike that is). I may have exaggerated it as the sleeper train left me sleepness before the first day’s ride.

They didn’t even do the whole NC500.

I would avoid the NC500, too many using it as a racetrack. Four guys clocked at 128mph on there at the weekend heading to Lochcarron.

Thanks for mentioning Inchbae Lodge above.
