Im not afraid of narrow roads there are some tight ones near me and I do have a habbit of finding the tightest poss, now speedbon the other hand is my downfall , I make driving miss daisy look fast and on narrow roads itl be worse as turning is hard. And none of getting lost malarky I dont like having to turn round lol

Going over to Applecross on the Bealach na Ba is going to be fun for you on the trike !!!!

On the practise run I managed to run out of talent and tarmac on one particularly tight bend !!!!

Don't get it myself !!!! It's tedious single track and lots of cars coming the other way. Lovely view but ????

The rest of the route is kick-ass tho, so don't mind too much. Invergarry to Eilenn Donan Castle is epic.

I think its awesome but can get boring once you have done it a few times in one weekend. What Ron said - the Glen Garry road is amazing!...

Always felt that sign should point out that it's not seven and a half miles to Applecross via the alternative route, it's seven and a half miles to the start of the 25 mile twisty single track low level road to Applecross. Important point for anyone thinking of skipping the Bealach...
