Itinerary description
|
Introduction: 11-day route through the Scottish Highlands starting in Glasgow, passing through the West Highland Way (WHW) to Fort William. By the "road of the islands" to Mallaig to pass by ferry to the Isle of Skye and exit the island in the direction of Inverness through Glen Lichd and Glen Affric. On the route, sections alternate with asphalt, tracks and trails. EYE!!! I want to warn that part of the trails are not cyclable, either because there are many stones, because of the slope they have or for both reasons and where you can get a little hard to drag the bike with the saddlebags.
We leave from the center of Glasgow towards the north looking for the road that takes us to Milngavie, where the WHW begins, a route of about 150 kms for walkers but that for the most part is cycleable, but there are complicated stretches for the bike and the saddlebags and that we will try to avoid as much as possible. This section is all cyclable. We slept in the tent in a forest a little before reaching Drymen (EYE with mosquitoes, there are many).

Hola guartrapas! En septiembre voy con mi chica a hacer los Highlands y mirando gente que lo haya hecho hemos topado contigo. No descartamos seguir el track que tú hiciste. Me surge de primeras una duda, y es el tema de la comida. Durante la ruta encontraste pueblos donde comprar víveres? Un saludooo
