NCN Route 1
NCN Route 1
Planning a touring holiday in North Scotland from Inverness & on my way would like to use NCN 1. Looking @ OS maps part of the route uses old railway track towards Cullen. Is this route OK for laden touring bike using 700/28 wheels/tyres. Or am I better sticking to the lanes ? Dave

Yes, very suitable for a loaded tourer on 28mm tyres, a nice coastal route with good views. A fair bit of on-road back roads too if I remember.
Have you seen the Sustrans zoomable online map? http://www.sustrans.org.uk/ncn/map
