I know this is not really a cycling forum, but I figure you guys will know more about the highlands than anyone.
I'm looking to go flyfishing in (maybe) Assynt in May. My friend and I plan on wild camping, and were originally going to take a canoe, but we've not been away cycling in a while (which we do once a year for a week or so), and I'm starting to chafe at the bit.
I'm wondering about access to the water on the lochs, and whether it's possible to mountain bike from one spot to another (basically whether there are a lot of trails), or whether to get around, from one part of a loch to another, a canoe is the only real practical way of doing it.
Anyone either cycled up there, or hiked and knows the terrain well enough to advise?
thanks
