NorthCoast 500 on a Fixie

I was just wondering if anyone has or knows of anyone who has cycled the North Coast 500 on a fixie? I know there are people who have done lands end to John o' groats so can't imagine it being any harder than that?

thanks

Scottland? It looks like a beautiful route.

I've no idea about what it is like to ride but gearing would be my concern, not whether the bike is fixed or freewheeled.
