After a good look around the falls we had a good chat with Johnny Blade and his wife, touring on his well travelled Blackbird, before we headed for Ullapool. This piece of road is one of my favourites in Scotland, it is so fast and flowing it just makes riding a pleasure. The corners have great forward visibility and most of the road has been recently resurfaced with none of that pesky surface dressing. Even two up the big RT excels on these fast sweeping roads. The scenery is a bit of a distraction, so
It was now full on tourist mode drinking in the views and enjoying the cool sea air as we continued following the coast to the white sand beach at Gruinard bay.
From shaded tree lined lanes passing shallow clear stream to twisty and challenging climbs through the Perthshire hills, this route can be a relaxing bimble or a challenging thrash along surprisingly quite roads.
