Doing it in 5 days in a car would be fairly leisurely. You could easily take 10 days though stopping off at places for a day or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
microdave Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Not looking to rush round but I'll probably allow myself 10 days and if it's any quicker then it's not a big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting report, tiredness, couple of drams, warm cabin, etc. Sounds like a recipe for disaster right enough. It was still there in August Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

microdave Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Well I ended up rushing round in three days. It was amazing and the scenery stunning. I lost count of the number of times my jaw dropped as I went round a corner or over a hill. I'll definitely do it again but maybe over the course of a week as three days was too rushed.

jimmy boo Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 I thought Harris was a separate island. What's going on there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mantis Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 8 hours ago, ThatBoyRonaldo said: Geologically it is but it's connected at Tarbert. There's a wee bit of road in the village where views of the Minch and the Atlantic are only about 20 paces apart IIRC. No, that's not right. It's one island (Isle of Lewis and Harris) and people just have a habit of saying one or the other. You actually enter North Harris at Loch Seaforth, near Aline. South Harris starts at Loch Tarbert. A lot of the confusion arises because Lewis was part of Ross & Cromarty and Harris was Invernessshire so they were run by different councils.

LondonHMFC Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Coming up in August with the Mrs, going to be driving up so we can stop off in the Lake District and then Edinburgh before having four days in the Highlands. Not got a plan as such, so open to go anywhere really. Looking for a Loch or nice beach where we can have a swim, did Achmelvich not so long back and that was incredible. So anything like that would be ideal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would always say Coigach and Assynt but if you have recently done Achmelvich and want something different I would say: Day 1 drive up through Glencoe which is stunning enough and through Fort William out to Arisaig and Morar. Great beaches there, especially silver sands at Morar. Day 2 Ferry from Mallaig to Skye. Millions to see and do on Skye you could spend a week here. Lovely secluded bay at Talisker. Baltic though. Day 3 Skye to Drumnadrochit. Passing through great Glen and Loch Ness. Brilliant whisky bar in Drumnadrochit. Day 4 You could go to Culloden or head down to the Cairngorms for a wander round Rothiemurchus forest and up Cairn Gorm itself. TBH I would go for 2 days on Skye and head straight down road after Drumnadrochit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
