Hello.
I'm sure it has been discussed before, but next year (2021) my Dad is desperate to do the NC500 before he is too old. He has towed caravans for 40+ years. We will accompany him with our own caravan and have towed for 10+ years, however I am worried that roads in the north west corner of route are extremely narrow, with passing points and rely on good reversing skills and nerves of steel!
Has anyone done the journey with a caravan and what advice would you give us?
I am also thinking would stopping at the Kinlochewe site for 3-4 days and driving the route by car be a realistic and sensible alternative, and likewise then travelling up to Dunnet Bay site, via Bora site? We would aim to start/end at Inverness as we have towed up the A9 before and that is a decent road. The other thought is to hire a motorhome, but narrow roads and a vehicle you are not familiar with could be a baptism of fire.
We are looking to go mid-June after A'level exams and before results and uni.
Thank you.
