ON THEIR BIKES FOR THE NC500

The North Coast 500 is encouraging people to explore the world-famous route on two wheels in 2022. Markus Stitz, founder of Bikepacking Scotland, has teamed up with NC500 to devise a new range of off and on-road cycling itineraries that use parts of the NC500 route, including cycle-friendly accommodation, cycle cafes and storage facilities, as well as cycle maintenance and cleaning points along the route. They have created a new film as part of the campaign, and hope it will encourage a healthy lifestyle and promote sustainable and responsible travel around the north Highlands. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yW9WW-N4wYE
