The Trail Notes -

This is not a particularly difficult route - almost the whole  journey is rideable and a gravel bike is ideal for the mix of surfaces

The ferries add to the adventure and complexity, particularly when trying to arrange overnight accommodation, so carrying a tent or bivvi is handy  

Due to heavy construction traffic around Inverary I've had to divert the route for 2026, temporary for now but perhaps it will become permanent

The travel

The start at Fort William is served from Glasgow by ScotRail's Highland Explorer carriage with space for 20 bicycles and it's also a destination for The Caledonian Sleeper train from Euston, with cheap seats and expensive cabins

There are return stations along the route at Oban, Dalmally, Bridge of Orchy, Rannoch and Corrour

The fastest way to the start from Glasgow and Edinburgh is Ember, an electric coach service with space for two bikes which also runs Oban to Fort William

There is a wide range of print-on-demand products featuring the WCCT eagle logo printed on demand by Spreadshirt (best I could find) - I like the JAKO technical shirts

T-SHIRTS & HOODIES

You can also buy Charlotte's artwork of the route as posters and greetings cards, printed and fulfilled by Teemill
