We're back up in May for our fix, but we don't do the whole route. Just parts of it.
I love the scenery and deserted roads.
Yep, we'll be up there towards the end of June. Like you, we'll not be doing much of the actual NC500 route, there's just so much fantastic driving up there that one can avoid the more popular roads.
Besides my utter favourite which is General Wade's Military Road, another delight is the B8004 from Banavie up to the Commando Memorial near Spean Bridge.
