Re: Travelling between Gill's Bay and Ullapool

Thank you all very much for the very useful replies (there is nothing better than a little local knowledge is there).

The original plan was to step off the ferry at Gill's Bay at 1pm and be at Ullapool by 5:30pm Which (according to Google maps) is about 135miles and will take about 3.5 hours.
From what you have all said, it is going to take potentially longer than that (with possible delays to ferry's and road traffic etc) so I have decided to get the earlier ferry which should dock about 9am and give me a further 4 hours travel time and about 8.5 hours in total.

I feel a lot more comfortable with that but although extremely tempted with the coastal route I think maybe compremise and go down through Tongue at a more leasurely pace and maybe stop somewhere halfway for a break.

Cheers for the ideas and I will let you know how I get on.
