We're currently at Port a Bhaigh, Altandhu, with a stunning view, and will welcome advice on the next stage of our trip, please. It's our first caravan expedition, and so far it's wonderful!

We're hoping to get to Dunnet Head, by Thurso. The planned next stop meanwhile, is at Scourie.

It's a bit over 100 miles between there & Dunnet, but it's on plenty of winding one-track roads. Other than Durness, about 20-something miles from Scourie, there's nowhere showing itself as a good place to stop on the way.

So any experienced advice on how long that whole West to East trip takes, and/or on somewhere with EHU to pause on the way, would be very welcome, please.

Wifi is limited round here, so I'll try to look in within the next 24 hours, but won't be online much between.

Thanks,

Richard

You certainly have the right attitude for that part of Scotland Hedgehurst. We have visited the north west a lot of times over the last 40 or so years and have experienced everything from almost hurricane force winds to bright sun and 25 degrees. However, it is the scenery that keeps bringing us back. That mixture of rocks so old, they were present at half the age of the earth, and then the younger ( relatively) Toriddonian peaks of Stac Polly, Suilven and Ben Hope etc, rising shear from the basement. Even on a bad day, spectacular. Hopefully on your future visits you may experience some of the 25 degrees.
