A long and varied route following the John o'Groats Trail: an unscenic exit past the industrial port, the Kessock Bridge, then steep climbs into forest with high vegetation, forest paths and minor roads and shore-side stretches. Includes the Cromarty Bridge and a stretch where you must step over railway rails and climb a fence. Covers the Inverness to Culbokie section of the John o'Groats Trail plus the section towards Alness; see jogt.org.uk. Munlochy has a small local shop, and the walk can be broken at Culbokie.
Woodland: a fifth under tree cover.
Time: 9h30–19h
Lunch: Munlochy, roughly mid-route, has a small local shop.
Warnings: Steep climbs through high vegetation mean leg covering is needed. A short stretch near Munlochy is busy with little verge. There is no controlled crossing of the railway near the Cromarty Bridge: you step over the rails and climb a small fence. The Kessock and Cromarty bridges carry heavy, noisy traffic and can be windy. Best split with an overnight stop.
