My suggestion would be to buy some really, really good waterproofs
Me and Mrs Freck got absolutely soaked in the heaviest rain storms I’ve ever seen.

 

We have done it twice now and both times absolutely drenched. People tell me the views from Applecross are amazing - I will have to take their word for it. I didn’t see anything except the water streaming down the inside of my visor Having said that I can’t wait to do parts of it again

 

You must do the braemar to Glenshee road. It is to die for. Also around Glencoe and Ballahulich, Fort William and the lochs are stunning

 

I did them roads 11yrs in a row
About time I got back up there again

 

If you can it’s best to go when there’s a good weather forecast on spec rather than book because if it pisses down it’s shite as you can’t see anything but if your working then this isn’t possible, I like the west coast best I am not that keen on east side, the road down to Ullapool is fantastic, Scottish Borders are also very nice out towards Selkirk Moffat and not to far away.

 

We are just waiting for them to open the doors and we are going (again). Absolutely love those roads in the highlands. Some nice dry weather during July and August. Fingers crossed Englandshire are allowed in soon
