Thanks again Haggis, I`m in 2 minds about Applecross... I`m not too good with heights but did the wrynose pass (Lake District) by myself the other week. Wasn`t too bad at my own pace but as much as I`m keen to see the stunning scenery in Applecross a friend has advised me not to do it on my own? no mobile signal, very few cars etc if something were to happen? not sure now cos you make it sound like it really is worth the deep breath, positive thinking re fear of heights and just do it
