点评:The NC500 is, as billed, "The Ultimate Roadtrip!" I have driven many, many places in my 67 years. This was unquestionably the most impressive and enjoyable.
We drove north from our son's family's home in Dornoch largely along the A837 to Ardvreck Castle. From there it was further north to Durness for a coffee and pastry at Cocoa Mountain. The entire trip to Durness was filled with an ever-changing vista of mountains and broad valleys. Stunning views.
From Durness we headed east along the NC500 to Tongue. Simply awe inspiring. The North Atlantic crashing into the coast, the views from the road, the pleasure of the drive. Incredible.
The trip back to Dornoch from Tongue was awfully nice, but a bit anticlimactic after what had gone before.
My only caution is to be sure you're comfortable on single-track roadways. About two-thirds of our drive required constant attention for oncoming cars (and lorries!) and the Passing Places.
翻译:正如宣传的那样,NC500 是“终极公路旅行!”在我 67 年的人生中,我开车去过很多地方。这次无疑是最令人印象深刻和最愉快的一次。
我们从儿子家在多诺赫的家向北行驶,沿着 A837 一直开到阿德维克城堡。从那里再往北到德内斯,在可可山喝咖啡、吃糕点。整个去德内斯的旅程充满了不断变化的山脉和宽阔的山谷景色。景色令人惊叹。
从德内斯,我们沿着 NC500 向东行驶到 Tongue。简直令人惊叹。北大西洋冲击海岸,从路上欣赏美景,驾驶的乐趣。难以置信。
从 Tongue 返回多诺赫的旅程非常愉快,但与之前的经历相比有点虎头蛇尾。
我唯一的警告是确保您在单轨公路上感到舒适。我们驾驶的三分之二的时间里需要不断注意迎面而来的汽车(和卡车!)和过往车辆。
