Biking the Applecross Penulsia
Loading...
Uploaded by coastkid71 on Jun 29, 2009
Two of the better known trails on the Applecross Penulsia, Wester Ross.
The former drove road over the pass, the `bealach na Ba` (pass of the cattle) is the highest maintained road in the UK and was only tarred in 1962 and the penulsia coast road tarred in 1974,
prior to that travel to the estate fishing village was by boat from Kishorn or Shieldaig or a 9 mile trek over the penulsia from Kenmore, this track was once a coffin road to the church at Applecross,from the pass to the coastroad there are outstanding views to the west over Rassey and Skye and to the east to the Torridon mountain range

@racampbell6 My wife asked why watch a video of someone else riding a bike. I replied, it is like getting a postcard, it takes you somewhere.

This reminds me of some roads in Utah that go past a high lake.

Wow. I've done that ride on my mtb every year on my hols at applecross for the last 4 years. You have captured the stunning ride well. I've never met a soul on the path back over the peninsular in all the times I've ridden it, let alone a fellow mtbiker. I've tried the path over to airigh-drishaig from toscaig too, its a bit tougher in parts. Top video.
