Can anyone advise best (quickest) route from Uig (Skye) to Northampton?. Its return from a Hebrides holiday where the aim is to get from ferry to home and bed ASAP.
Leave Uig around 14:00. Three drivers so breaks not an issue.
The sections from Uig to the A87/A887 junction by Loch Cluanie and use of M74/M6/M1 are givens. It’s that bit in between that could possibly be improved.
I’ve habitually followed the A87 and A82 via Fort William to Crianlarich then either the A82 to the Erskine Bridge or A85/A84 through Callender to Stirling and the M80. This time we followed the Callender route (delays advised down Lomond side) and made exactly 12 hours including about an hour of stops.
Some have suggested using either the A887/A82 to Inverness or the A86/A889 with the objective of getting onto the A9 for a faster run south. However no mapping package suggests going anywhere near the A9 and I cannot see how the added miles on either route can be justified.
Thanks in advance!!
