Thing is, you dont need to achieve any kind of speed to get your kicks off that road. Most fun around the national speed limit i have had behind the wheel in a long time.

More fun tomorrow apparantly but tonight we have taken over Ullapool with great fury and furious anger

If you were heading to applecross via fort william, where would be the last proper fuel stop?

We were going to head south this week for a holiday but this sounds far more interesting.

Absoloute pleasure to pay my road tax this year after going over that road in the Banana

Was thinking of doing this run but didnt get the clutch,brakes and NOS sorted in time. Looks like everyone had a great time, and as you said, the roads up there are superb with views and scenery to match :beer:

I have actually cycled around applecross in my more youthful days. Managed to do 62mph on the push bike while overtaking a car ;)

Would love to do it in the car some time

we passed a cyclist on our 1st run through, he was whooping and cheering as we passed him.

We saw him on our return leg and he had made good progress, was coasting downhill with a grin on his face ;)

I've edited the Applecross section down to a reasonable length and you can find the video

Look out for the cyclist giving encouragement, diffs winding up on the hairpins, Ann's gasp at the way I attacked the final hairpin, StrikE's half assed handbrake turn attempt and just at the end that wee arm pointing THE WRONG BLOODY WAY!
