Thank you, greatly appreciated.I agree the North Road is "under-rated".(Have they moved that signpost yet...)" (maybe in 2 or 3 weeks actually?) "What date, maybe we can get a convvoy of bikes going across at the same time...Silly, but fun idea..

absolutely brilliant. my favourite road in the whole of scotland, i've done it a couple of times on the bike now. the bealach na ba is spectacular but the north coast road is like a rollercoaster. i want to do it again! (maybe in 2 or 3 weeks actually?)thanks for posting them. :-D

I've been over this road many times, in a car mind - can be scary depending on the weather, the livestock, and whoever is coming in the opposute direction!! You can really smell your brakes at the bottom when you arrive at the inn....Many thanx for the video, brings back some great memories.

Have crossed over this pass many times but always in a car,loved the bike ride,felt I was on the back hinging on fer grim death.

MERCEDES MOBILE HOME....Gulp...Bike = TeDiuM..Sort of proves it isn't really. Long travel suspension is a must on this road,unless you want to inspect the heather close up..LOL.

Thankyou so much for posting this Weiun, this is one trip I have promised myself I will do on my bike (VTR Firestorm) Looks like it might have been better suited to my Cagiva Canyon though with those surfaces. What Bike were you riding there??(Sounds like a Single) I haven't done this road since I was little in the backseat of the Car with Family. Would love to do it for myself. My Friend's always raving about this road, he goes up there alot and gets up it in a Mercedes Mobile Home

just back from applecross seafood festival, beautiful place, great people, oh and the drive was amazing, arrived at the top just as the sun was setting.

I agree, Scottish drivers in the north are extremely corteous, There are so many single track roads, courtesy and consideration are extremely essential. Oh and by the way, great video,My car was on the boil, when I got to the top of this hair raising climb. 2054ft I believe.
