The North Coast 500 is the trip people mean when they say road trip. Five hundred miles of single-track roads, white-sand beaches and sea lochs, looped out of Inverness and back again.
Give it a week. The joy is in the stopping: a flask of tea above an empty bay, a detour up a glen, a night parked where the only sound is the sea. Fenyx suits this one, with room to stand and cook while the weather does whatever it likes outside.
Quiet spots are easy to find, and the heater earns its keep when the evenings turn. Bring the dog, bring a good map, and let the road set the pace.
