Mates of mine did their own version of it (on foot) a few years back, detouring to take in some bits they didn't want to miss. I joined them for the last couple of nights so walked Achfary to Cape Wrath (then gave them a lift home). I should still have their route somewhere if you're interested. I think it was two full weeks, with every third night indoors and a couple of days rest.

That would be great if you still have it.

Harvey's do a good map. Looks like quite a lot would be hike-a-bike, tracks probably not easily visible.

Sorry WML, can't find all the details to hand but the route was as follows:

Fort William to the Cluanie Inn

Cluanie to StrathCarron (via Alltbeith, Glomach)

Strathcarron to Kinlochewe

Kinlochewe to Ullapool (via Carnmore, Shenavall, Dundonnell) This was supposed to involve a ferry trip over to Ullapool that the boat owner cancelled at the last minute.

Ullapool to Kylesku

Kylesku to Cape Wrath (via Achfary, Foinaven, Kinlochbervie and Sandwood Bay)

I found a zip file with all the maps on it and am currently uploading it. I'll stick a link in here when it's done.

FWIW, they posted some stuff ahead too (spare clothes, some specific foods, maps etc.).
