Durness to Blairgowrie – what is the best direct route
Soon I will be travelling from Durness to Blairgowrie, then returning back up the Durness in the evening.
The Inverness to Blairgowrie section looks straighforward.
But there looks like a few options for the Inverness to Durness leg
I am sure some of you lot are familiar with the roads north west of inverness
I am looking for the easy roads, not the ones with the best scenery.
What is the best route ?
A google map link would be good.
Cheers
Dave

Re: Durness to Blairgowrie – what is the best direct route
Used to live up in Thurso.
For me from Inverness go to Bonar Bridge, then Lairg, then a choice either up the strath to Tounge, then via Loch Eriboll to Durness. Or from Lairg up side of Loch Shin to Laxford Bridge then Durness.
Me - I would go up one route, then return the other to make it a bit more intertesing.
Whatever yo do keep an eye on the fuel gauge not too many fuel stops.
Either road North of Lairg is a somewhat amazing desolation and watch for the sheep!!
