I'm doing the NC500 in May/June with a 7.9m x 2.5m twin axle caravan. I'm not too worried about the roads as it has all been planned out very carefully although I am well aware some will be narrow.
I was wondering if anybody had driven the route with a caravan form John O' Groats to the Altnaharra Club Site. I have planned to take the A836 along the north coast, through Bettyhill then carry on alongside the river then pick up the B871 then the B873 to Altnaharra. I have just checked with the warden at the site who told me that was ok. However, when I booked last year I think the warden (presumably a different one then) told me to carry on on the A836 through Tongue all the way to Altnaharra. Having "driven" both routes on google maps the latter route seems to have much better forward visibility and much better passing places which would suggest this is the obvious choice. However I would very much value anybody's previous experience.
Thanks for reading.
