The whole route has been divided into
14 cycling stages and 2 rest
days in Fort William and
Inverness.
The cycling days have mostly the same schedule : a start
early in the morning and cycle the distance at own speed
to the next place. The daily distance depends on the
profile and the locations of suitable accommodation.
It's an average of around 114 kilometres per day.
The whole route follows almost everywhere quiet roads
where you can enjoy the beautiful Scottish countryside
and coastline. The course rolls continuously up and
down; never long, but sometimes pretty steep. The tour
can be characterised as hilly with roughly 1.300
meters of climbing per day.
At the start in Edinburgh you receive an extensive tour
guide with background information about the route.
A GPS which has the option to upload
files is essential and very helpful to find the correct
way without looking at detailed maps and an overload of
instructions. |
