Hi once again - having had time to mull all of this over I'm still in two (or three) minds as to which way to go. I think I'm veering away from the north option as it's potentially the longest. The south route @Wotsits mentioned seems to link up to the west route via Cockley Beck unless I've misunde...

Hats off to you sir - nice work.

How long did it take to go between Nevis and Scafell??

Could be up for another epic adventure -although I think I'll need a couple of years prep for that!

Did you cycle between them all?

I know of a pair of guys that did the Welsh, English and Scottish version of what I'm doing (which is my long term aim), but they did them together and biked between each!!

I took my bike up the three peaks in 2011. Scafell was a horror carry up and down. I’ll dig out my full route this weekend and link it here. EDIT: I went a completely different way, sorry. https://www.gpsies.com/map.do?fileId=xfznlhxbfbqfzxsu Well it looks like you at least did the last 35km or so ...

Thanks all - lots to consider here so I'll digest it all later.

Was expecting some bike carrying at some...

Evening all, Not been on the forum for a while as plans for my charity challenge changed. Last year I asked about routes from Loch Awe to Ben Nevis as part of a plan to canoe the longest lake in the UK then climb the highest mountain, having cycled between them. Sadly that has been postponed due to ...

Cheers, we're looking at July next year so it would be holiday season, but planning a weekday to avoid traffic as much as possible.

Thanks to all that have replied - sorry I've not acknowledged sooner (hadn't enabled notifications in my emails #-O!). Useful info and it seems avoiding the A82 is best option. We'd be starting from Kilchurn Castle so likely need to use the A85 to get onto the NCN78. Looking at the path of the 78, c...

Hi all, Just joined the forum as it was recommended by the UK Gravel Bike Club (Facebook). My initial reason for joining is to ask for everyone's thoughts on a charity event I'm planning for next year. We'll be canoeing the length of Loch Awe, cycling to the foot of Ben Nevis, then climbing Nevis. A...
