I have just got back from doing the NC500 with my Wife ( only our second holiday together with no kids! )
Despite being stuck in a car for 8 days we are still together All credit to my Wife, she did all the planning and booked us some cracking places to stay in, the highlight for me being this cabin on the mountainside in Ullapool....
Was knackering carrying suitcases up to it though! Roads were a bit dodgy in places, by that I mainly mean potholes, and as it was raining most of the time that made it fun not knowing if it was a puddle or a 6inch hole
Unfortunately applecross was completely misted over with no visibility at all so on the way back instead of taking the pass we went on the coastal road. Glad we did as it is a great road with barely any other cars to be seen, would of been fun on a bike
Also I have just learned that the footbridge over Corrieshalloch Gorge that my Wife forced me to go across (despite knowing how much I hate heights) got shut down the day after we went as they have discovered potential structural issues!!
