Awoke to some blue sky and clear conditions to cross the Bealach Na Ba (crossing of the cattle) and fortune shone upon me as the lovely cafe was open and made a reasonably good, hot Flat White! I needed the caffeine to tackle the high pass as it was stunning and a true test of nerves and driving capabilities! An amazing drive led down to the west coast at Applecross with views across to the Isle’s of Raasay and Skye. Followed my nose and saw some lovely coves and inlets with seals basking on a rocky islet. The road passes around the coast and makes a round trip back to Gracies. Applecross folk museum and church were interesting and there was a pretty sandy beach and people acting like it was summer! Bought some hot smoked salmon straight from the farmers kitchen and passed a standing stone that no one could get near.
