Another day of changing plans on our NC500 trip. This time the beach was too tempting to ignore.
Today we tackled over 24 short, Sharpe climbs, climbed 2,000 metres, met with masticating midges. The memory of these days improves with time.
A later start to a seemingly easier day with just three noticeable climbs in the offing.
Day Three of the North Coast 500 turns out to be a day of contrasts. Short, steep hills in the first half turn to long, easy climbing in the second.
Day Two of the North Coast 500 sees us tackling the highest mountain pass the route had to offer.
Cycling the North Coast 500. Starting out in Inverness and trying to get to Applecross, follow us on the first day of our trip to see how we got on.
In order that we didn’t miss our Ferry, we let the train take the strain to Dieppe. It didn’t stop the journey being a little worrisome though.
Having arrived in Paris yesterday evening, today was the day of two tours. We set off in to the heat to try and view at least one of them.
After diverting away from the Avenue Verts, we take the ever busier roads before arriving in an ever more chaotic Paris.
