I suspect the point was that the whole set up would be too big for many passing places so no one could pass in any case. Time for a width or vehicle length restriction on some of the single track roads ?

If that was the case then I'm not surprised folk get impatient.
But how would Jaun king make his deliveries then ?

I rode down from Laxford to Lairg (40 miles of single track road with passing places) and I met a lot of cars and also an "artic"!
There were lots of passing places so it wasn't too bad, plus, a bike and car fit on a single carriageway if you're careful.

Interestingly we did it the other way last week and only met two vehicles from the opposite direction the whole road, seems most travel north using that road.
I agree!
Furry boots are in Scotland actually are you?

Fundee, I thought most who comment regularly in the Scotland section knew that.
My reply was regarding mickeys observation of that motorhome and tow car not fitting into passing places. My van does and I do!
Yeah .... OK
It'll be a great situation when he meets 30+ TVR or Lotus 7 one make car clubs 'days out' coming in the opposite direction, all nose to tail
Yebbut we both know who can spin their seat round and go put the kettle on if it goes tits up!

I was there today - both campsites at Durness were mobbed!
I rode to Durnes via Ullapool and back down from Melvich to Helmsdale (more single track road).
A nice 8 hour round trip; glorious weather and scenery!
Very busy from Durness to Melvich; lots of motorhomes on the road but they gave way to let me through quite a few times.
Mmm......... Might chance a run up to Ullapool, overnight there and return next day, then
Cheers!

Bloody hell! My favourite B&B, the Ladysmith........... is chocka!
Over the course of the summer there are usually tens of thousands of folk going abroad every day, this year they aren't that means tens of thousands and clogging the roads every where.
It's actually quite sad what's happening to the countryside this year and the genie ain't going back in the bottle.
