Re: 2015 Highland drive routes
I was going to suggest the old mitary road over to garelochead but you've included it. The road from garelochead to arrochar is a mess just now so hopefully it gets sorted out soonish.

Re: 2015 Highland drive routes
I only see one lap of the Scotburgring on that link, are you sure it is correct
Looks good to me.

Re: 2015 Highland drive routes
Tell you what; even better, while they're faffing around in Moidart and returning via Glenfinnan, we could do 5 or 6 laps then head direct for Fort William.SlipSlide wrote:I only see one lap of the Scotburgring on that link, are you sure it is correct
I haven't been on a Highland Drive which has used the A861 and/or the A830.SlipSlide wrote:Looks good to me.
So these will be new (at least to me: not sure if either/both were used in 2011).
That was the year I had to miss out. Will take a trip on Streetview to see what I think.

Re: 2015 Highland drive routes
Any chance we could visit John O Groats as we have never been there, so close yet so far :-)

Re: 2015 Highland drive routes
Some of us have...
17/04/10 - http://goo.gl/NB21N7
If you look closely you'll find Mr Wedge's V6.
JOG is hugely underwhelming imo. The only reason to go tbh is to check it off a list of 'things I have done'. When we were there it was before the tourist season and most of it was closed. And make sure you don't need a p*** 'cos it will cost you 20p!
If we do head over that way it would be much more interesting to visit Duncansby Head and (weather permitting!) do the walk along the cliffs to view the Geo of Sclaites and Duncansby Stacks.

Re: 2015 Highland drive routes
I have a question: while the A816 Lochgilphead to Oban looks interesting is it worth the extra hour it will take between Inveraray and Connel?toymr2 wrote:Thursdays route: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/dir/Trave ... m0!1m0!3e0
Also the A87/A890/A832 between Invergarry and Gorstan via Shiel Bridge, Strathcarron, and Achnasheen is much more fun than the A82/A833/A862/A832/A835 via Drumnadrochit, Beauly, Muir of Ord, and Contin.
See your previous suggestions:
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/dir/Moref ... 1f!1m0!3e0
and
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/dir/Moref ... 1f!1m0!3e0
Either route to Glencoe - right onto the A85 then A82 via Rannoch Moor or left onto the A85 to Connel then the A828 - is fine AFAIAC.
