I should add our booklet also includes a female section.......it's not just male cyclists who pee in fields though our female companions have higher privacy standards. 😂😂

It's the lack of a flag on that one which would concern me.
A few years ago I needed a pee. I was wearing full length shorts (what are they called ??)........i hate them and wear waist shorts.
Anyway, I had to pull them down AND.....guess what, 2 women walkers appeared from nowhere. I was in full flow so had to continue

No idea what speed he may have been doing but that road carries fast traffic despite a 50mph speed limit and has a of bends where he may not be visible to traffic from behind. Apparently he lives in Strontian and has been seen often on that road. The height is pretty standard and I have a recumbent myself but have a flag and sometimes flashing lights. There are some corners I know can be dangerous but that is from oncoming traffic on single track.

Too much wind resistance for any distance I think and too heavy as well.

I certainly wouldn't fancy it!
Can you get all the way from Connel to the ferry on the cycle path now? I think there were still some gaps the last time that I was up there.
I loved the roads on the other side of the loch!
A win win.
I have my car valeted maybe every 2 months.
We use an 'anti cancer' natural thingy called Essiac.
New supplier. She said her husband would drop it off as he is a mobile car valeter working in my area.
Great !!!! dropping it off and doing the car tomorrow.....nice one

The missing section from Duror south for about 3 miles has apparently been finished but due to covid I have not been up that far this year. I find the bit northwards from the big layby just after Castle Stalker is a pain with too many gates to open and the road crossings are hazardous. One bit with a blind corner on the pavement beside the main road is a danger as I have had a narrow miss with somebody coming round too fast. A collision here would end up with somebody on the main carraigeway with 60mph traffic.
For the trike the road crossings are bad as there is not enough room to make a clean turn on and more particularly off the pavement.
There is of course a brutal hill at Kentallen as a house has been built on the old railway line. I have a picture posted on here somewhere taken from the top.
Further north beyond Ballachulish the path is really just the previous pavement and in some places too narrow to allow passing easily.

Hmm, that doesn't sound ideal! Maybe I will stick to cadging a lift to the ferry next time I go up.
