A9 cycle path closure
Posted: 11 Aug 2019, 5:57pm
As part of our lejog which will start on 14th August we have planned a route from Crieff to Laggan using part of the A9 cycle path. However this announcement has turned up on the Sustrans Scotland Facebook page:
We have been advised by BEAR Scotland that due to essential resurfacing works, #NationalCycleNetwork Route 7 between Dalnaspidal and Dalwhinnie will be closed for approximately 15 days from Monday 12th August 2019.
Due to the lack of a safe diversionary option, a free shuttle service will operate for route users between 07:00-19:00 daily, with information, including a contact phone number, prominently displayed at each closure point. For the duration of the works, we would advise against journeys towards the affected area outside of these hours.
The question is do we take the shuttle service which would mean that technically we will be 10km short of doing the complete lejog or just take the A9 on the grounds that we are experienced riders?
Any advice gratefully received.
