BF.-I must be sad as I knew which corners were coming next on both the Applecross and Glencoe roads. Good vid but a criticism of all the videos,not just yours, you get a good idea of the roads but not the grandeur of the mountains that surround you. Couple of wide swings by who ever was in front of you on the Applecross climb,these corners do tend to catch people out in just how sharp they are.
Triple whistle!

Haha. "That corner" caught out quite a few folk. Lemmings come to mind.

But it is a nasty tightening radius off camber wee bugger with a nasty looking rock jutting out the apex.

Luckily Applecross county councils roads department saw fit to extend the road on the exit of the turn by laying big flat-ish rocks on the verge of the moor!

In reference to your toes-out riding style methinks. Ideally once your moving, you want to have the balls of your feet resting on the peg, or thereabouts. Not your heel. It's so you can gain more control through "weighting the pegs", ie pushing down with your left foot on a left hander and vice versa. You do it instinctively to some degree.

Also aids ground clearance, and the life expectancy of your lovely bikeboot soles!

Thats what commuting does to you!
TBH I do move my feet about, the boot I ride in restrict your ankles (more or less solid around the ankle), and thats the comfort position. But they're bloody comfortable and work in all weather.
I don't need any more clearance, I would be grinding bike parts if I did

There are a lot of SV's there. Are you sure it was an ORG ride?
