My Weekend Bealach Na Ba

[muppet]

Boys weekend Up the west coast of Scotland to play on the Bealach Na Ba pass.
Route up the A9 to Dalwinnie and head towards Spean Bridge.

First stop Loch Laggan

At Spean Bridge north on the A82 . Loch Lochy and my shirt



Turn left heading west on the A87 towards Kyle of Lochalsh but going to Plockton for lunch

Shop from "Hamish McBeth"


View from near to shop


Nice wee road north out of Plockton


Passed Hotel at Lochcarron and up to the Pass
View back down Bealach Na Ba


Traction control off for the twisty bits



Nice View at the top ... and Skye in the background



Turn left at Applecross round the coast road to Shieldaig



Back to LochCarron and repeat till time to go home... Favourite road sign



Just checking



The A890 between Strome Ferry and Auchtertyre, a fantastic collection of constant radius corners



Eilan Donan Castle... why stop when you are enjoying yourself



the A9



the Forth Bridges



In the middle of an industrial estate in Rosyth



Nice weekend and although the Bealach Na Ba was the target I was amazed by how many fun roads we drove/smiled over.. try it some time.

Great stuff muppet

It's true what you say about the Bealach Na Ba - it's a good road in itself and the scenery is spectacular, but I had more fun on the roads to/from it. The actual Bealach Na Ba is a bit too unsighted and narrow to blast along IMO. I particularly enjoyed the A87 from Lochgarry to Kyle of Lochalsh area (past Eilean Donan).

Not such a nice road in March...... Glad the snowplough was there



Snowplough doing 3 point turn to get round one of the hairpin bends



On the other hand the roads were quite, 24 miles of single track road and did not meet another vehicle..
