I'm off to Scotland this weekend. Part of the route takes us for lunch at the Applecross Inn.

As I understand it, this is a very beautiful place, but the road there and back is single track and pretty steep.

Is it do-able in a BEC / 7 with no reverse??

Or am I likely to fry my clutch?

Mike

You've got to do it - one of the great roads.

And you can go out the other side of the village withhout coming back over the Pass of the Cattle.

I went there a few years ago, unfortunately not in the kit . The roads are brilliant and if i ever get the chance to go it will definately be in the kit.

What route are you doing, en route to there ?

And when ?

Cheers

more than ok in the kit, I went on the back of a goldwing over the pass, camped for a week with rain 24/7 at the applecross campsite, only good bit was the midges were kept at bey by the rain.

Other than that it was sunny when we left and the pass was awe inspiring.

Do it. Absolutely stunning part of the world, some folks go abroad to see scenery like this !
I'd be prepared to get out and push backwards, small sacrifice. Chances are you
won't see another car anyway

12 of us done it last year in 7s and we will be going again this year. If its good weather its fantastic. Watch out for the sheep though.

Never been there, no idea where you're talking about but do it

Probably the forst unanimous poll I've ever seen on LB

Well there's your answer then

Thanks lads!!!!

I'm sooooo excited.

Mike

Go for it.

I have some vids somewhere of going up the Belach Na Ba and down the other side in the mini, I'll upload them later.

Great roads around that part of Scotland. If you want a quiet, smooth 2 lane go for the road between Garve and Kinlochewe and Achnasheen...deserted and never any speed cameras....

If you want spectacular then the road from Achnasheen to Torridon is fantastic, then from Torridon to Diabaig (dead end, but worth it).

I went round there about 20 years ago in an MG Midget with leaky roof - torrential rain all the way, but fantastic!

Thanks lads. Well I'm back home. Up and over the pass was great! Rewarded myself with Fish & Chips in the pub in Applecross.

Will post some photos up later.
