The web site gives you a daily itinerary I don’t think it’s that hard to work out the route. Although with Peak Tours there will be some unnecessary wiggles just to reach suitable accommodation for a group of cyclists.

I'd like to know if anyone has ridden the route and if so have they a cue/GPS route available.

There used to be a Dover to Cape Wrath ride, which must have passed close to or gone through Durness - involved a short ferry ride - I've never ridden it, but I wonder if it's still a possibility? - if not I suppose Durness is the end of the road.

I'm pretty sure the cape wrath ferry still operates, but it's weather dependent. When I was there it was too rough.
One link to your website is enough. G

This is a ride I would like to do in preference to LeJoG/JoGLe but to Cape Wrath. For me I would do it unsupported and make my own route which would be 50% of the adventure. Good luck with your attempt. I guess you are planning do it summer 2019?
