- A mini series covering me and my buddy Wolfy bikepacking and wild camping on Mark Beaumont's cycling version of the North Coast 500. This mini series captures the highs (pun intended) and lows of this Scottish Highlands ride.
The videos will give you a feel like you're there, give tips and might have some funny moments.
Should you be planning to ride the route, this will give you a great insight. Anything not shown and you would like to know then please feel free to comment and ask.
I used AI voice changer to do my overdubs in order to be a little more clearer.... I think this worked ok let me know.

Excellent video. Love this part of the country. Also you can get tea and coffee in the RSPB exhibition at Forsinard Station and dodge the weather if you need a break. Well worth a look to learn all about the Flow Country. Did this road two weeks in the other direction. If your up this way again the Store Cafe in Bettyhill has the best breakfast rolls I have ever seen.
Apologies for the delay responding I've been on another little adventure. Thank you for the info it's very much appreciated... the original plan was to eat breakfast at the Store Cafe but they opened up too late - there will be a next time!
If i did the 500 would be on a electric recumbent trike with a trailer carrying batteries aswell as camping gear/food.. Is there a way to get past the bridge as doubt I would be able to get it up the steps for the bridge. On the trike would need stop once or twice to recharge as would be coming from edinburgh , total journey 780 miles, riding the whole way, estimated range for batteries being 480 miles.
The bridge features on the next episode which is Invershin bridge, to avoid this ride further south about 5 miles and you will be able to cross Bonar bridge and rejoin the route. I wouldn't recommend trying to go over Invershin bridge on the recumbent. The road is quite wide but is a main road A836 but time it right and you should be good.
Its sunny, in Scotland. Must be AI generated !
you're too clever for your own good buddy :-)
There is alot of sun in Scotland , it is just hidden by thse blo?dy clouds.
