2023 Subscriptions ginty001 Posted August 11, 2016 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Does anyone know this road well, ie, hows the traffic on it for cycling ? In terms of business on a 1 to 10 scale ? Cheers Ian.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions PaulL Posted August 11, 2016 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Hey Ian, I like to check the Travel Scotland website it gives some info on road usage and accident rates http://www.transport.gov.scot/a830-fort-william-mallaig-trunk-road might help a bit.

Members Kenny MacDonald Posted August 11, 2016 Members Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Road is fairly quiet , but busier in summer months due to tourists . If riding bike its got a few stiff climbs some are long and some are short and steep. Its quite a twisty road , lots of new resurfaced sections. very scenic nice road on bike. If heading to Mallaig can recommend Steam inn for food and entertainment at night . Kenny MacD ginty001 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark O Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Busyish tourist route (Glenfinnan railway viaduct) but nothing outrageous. I'd put it on a par with the Tyndrum to Oban Road but fewer of the larger lorries. If you survived the ride through Glencoe and over Rannoch Moor, which is much busier you'll be fine. Been a wee while since I've been up that way on business so can't comment on the road surface. Got to ask, what you planning and not sharing?
