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!

I would like to 'point out' [no pun] the co driver was the guilty party after spotting the 'banana' over the other side of the water, i just followed the other 2 cars in front!!

Look at it this way, we had a good extra run the others didn't have

On a theme here are a couple of pic's I took coming back across from Applecross.

Grant's videos have been uploaded...

the giggling is me, the creaking is the Banana's roll cage and the soundtrack is his exhaust

Pete, those were some great pics, I wished that I could take some, but we were slightly more... commited... up at the front... was no chance of gettting the camera out over that pass...

Although I'm now thinking about getting over there with my camera again soon....

Couple of passenger pics, taken on the move, over Applecross - the rest were way too blury!

And Derek's girly handbrake turn attempt caught on still!

[micra_wrc]

I did but was too feart to say anything in case Grant started to look at the steep drops down a stoney mountain

Baz and Pete, great pics there, a perfect reminder of how rugged the terrain is
