Episode 8 of 9 North Coast 500 Anti-clockwise Applecross Pass, Bealach na Ba Fat Lad on a Bike

This penultimate episode shows the pair of us navigate our way over the Applecross Pass also known as the Bealach na Ba or translated Pass of the cattle.
It is a winding single track road through the mountains of the Applecross peninsula, in Wester Ross in the Scottish Highlands. The historic mountain pass was built in 1822 and is engineered similarly to roads through the great mountain passes in the Alps, with very tight hairpin bends that switch back and forth up the hillside and gradients that approach 20%. It has the steepest ascent of any road climb in the UK, rising from sea level at Applecross to 626 metres (2,054 ft), and is the third highest road in Scotland.
The Bealach, as it is known for short, is considered unsuitable for learner drivers, large vehicles and motorhomes. The route is often impassable in winter.
It was a fantastic ride and a bit hairy at the top where it became ominously dark in the clouds.
