NC 500

Not sure if this is the correct way to put a post.
We are considering riding the NC500 next year, probably June time. We would prefer B & B / Hostel accommodation, nt keen on camping because of the extra weight. Has anyone done it and got any tips etc. WE wll be using a Orbit Electric assist.
Thank You

We did it in 2012 using b&bs before it had a popular name.
It was a nice ride. There's not much up there if you like breaking your ride and looking round towns etc. I would worry now a bit more about the number of inexperienced campervan drivers...
I remember the ride up the coast from Applecross had as much assent as the pass...
Happy to try and answer any specific questions - but it was a few years ago...
