NC 500 on Travel Show (1 Viewer)

[Clickem]

BBC News Travel Show covered the NC 500 this morning and is, I believe, available on the Iplayer. Possibly useful for anyone considering the route - some nice scenery

We saw it too. It was quite a good article but the pub landlady at the end said she would prefer things how they were pre-NC500.

I can see it getting even more popular and with the Scottish Government not investing much in the route then this will soon lead to a few problems occuring with road maintenance, congestion and bad press from disgruntled tourists.

I saw it too. That, and the Celebrity 5 go Motorhoming series made me want to tour Scotland next year.

By the look of it some of the roads need a big investment. I would be astonished if there is no weight limit on them (but I could be wrong).

That was the landlady in Applecross. I guess it depends on how busy/viable your business was before the route was promoted

All I can say is OH DEAR

We go to Applecross on motorbikes and it's always busy. Motorhome are just another part of the business now.
We live on NC500 and it seems that every other vehicle on th road is a motorhome now. We do free camp all over Highlands but it's getting difficult noww to find decent pitch for a night. But it'll quiet down after half term.
