I've shown it to Marge. We still intend to visit the Highlands and probably some of the north coastal areas, but I'd prefer not to drive all the way round that route; instead, just pick out some interesting individual places.
Run it past Marge and see what she thinks. l am sure she would love it!

Marge could sit on the front and pedal whilst I'd sit at the back and not worry too much about pedalling.

Re: I Had Never Heard Of NC 500...
About thirty years ago we spent two weeks touring Scotland (clockwise) and did this route, albeit wasn't know as the 500 then. Last year(2019) we were going on holiday to the Orkney Isles so decided to do it again stopping twice overnight going up and then when we returned to the mainland stopped twice coming down, a wonderfull experience, would be nice in an open top sports car, i have the T shirt08-12-2020, 12:16 PM

It might get less busy in the future when everyone buys an electric vehicle. I don't think they will be able to go that far on a charge....At least I hope not...
