The route follows quiet main roads and minor country roads, and is easily accessed and well provisioned.

Seasons
Best cycled between May and September.
Centres
A circular ride starting and ending in the highland capital Inverness. Small towns are passed at Ullapool, Thurso and Tain.
Difficulty
A challenging cycle route due to frequent undulations, with ascent totalling nearly 8000m. Climbs vary from steady climbs over low mountain passes to short steep hills. The road surface is asphalt throughout, presenting no problem. Suitable for mountain, touring and road bikes with a wide range of gears and appropriate tyres. Lights and high-vis jackets essential due to the possibility of misty conditions on narrow roads.
Must See
The beautiful and varied landscapes of the far north of Scotland. Major mountains are passed at Torridon, An Teallach and in Assynt. The route reaches both Durness and John o' Groats, near to the northwestern and northeastern extremities of Scotland.
