It was approved by Scottish Ministers and became operative in March 2001. 2. In February 2000 the Highland Council (referred to as ‘the council’) gave notice of the intention to prepare a local plan for Ross and Cromarty East.

Initial consultations and workshops were held, and in June 2002 a consultation draft, which was published. After a period of public consultation the council agreed changes and a Deposit Draft Ross and Cromarty east Local Plan was published in October 2004.

  • Dover to Cape Wrath by Bike Linda Brackenbury 1
    Dover to Cape Wrath by Bike Linda Brackenbury Cape Wrath Ullapool Achnasheen Skye Mallaig Mull Oban Ardrossan Dumfries Brampton Arran Richmond Malton Caistor Boston Cambridge Great Dunmow Rochester Dover 1 Route Summary: From Dover, the route heads west-northwest on quiet lanes across the foothills of the North Downs, passing through charming Wye and historic Charing to reach the larger historic town of Rochester. Cycle route 1 with many off-road sections is then taken to the ferry at Gravesend where the River Thames is crossed to Tilbury. The route then worms its way north to Brentwood using a mixture of lanes and B-roads which either pass under or over the major roads. The route continues northwards on lanes but latterly on a quietish main road to reach Chipping Ongar from where there's a B-road to Great Dunmow. Continuing northwards through Essex, a B- road takes bikers through Thaxted to Saffron Walden. Cambridgeshire is entered shortly afterwards and cycle route 11 is joined to reach Grantchester, just south-west of Cambridge's centre. Student routes through the west side of Cambridge ensue followed by a B-road to the stage stop at Chatteris; Cambridgeshire is noticeably flatter than Essex! Continuing up the eastern side of England, the Fenland town of March is the next objective. Beyond, a dedicated cycle track leads to a crossing of the River Nene. Lincolnshire is entered at the next drain crossing with the southern part of the county characterised by its flatness, drains and grid-like road layout. Holbeach is reached by quiet straight lanes and beyond, cycle route 1 is followed across The Wash and on to Boston.

  • Cluanie Inn to Cape Wrath (185.5Miles)
    From FORELAND to CAPE - an end to end walk across Britain from South Foreland (Dover) to Cape Wrath Linda Brackenbury Disclaimer: All details are given in good faith. However no activity can be completely hazard-free so undertaking any part of this route is done entirely at your own risk and I accept no responsibility for errors, loss or injury however caused. Part 7 Cluanie Inn to Cape Wrath (185.5miles) Cape Wrath Cluanie Inn Croy Hexham Malton Oakham London Farnham Dover 1 The final part of the walk to Cape Wrath has the most spectacular scenery. However, it requires the most thought and organisation because the terrain is more remote than other sections and unless camping, organising catered accommodation involves a number of pick-ups from the route. The compensation for this is using the same B&B base for more than one night. There is real choice in a route to reach Cape Wrath. The usual westerly Cape Wrath Trail routes are to my mind tough, involving quite long passages of slogging through pathless, boggy, featureless terrain and the fording of burns and rivers described as ‘difficult in spate’. Having failed to see the appeal of this, I have gone for a gentler western route using paths and tracks. Nevertheless, there are some pathless sections (the minimum I could get away with) and more (quiet) lane walking than other described routes. The route goes northwards from Glen Shiel into Glen Affric before turning westwards to Ruarch (hamlet) and Inverinate village. Hill tracks beyond lead over to Killilan and a subsequent hill track over to Attadale and on to Strathcarron village.
