@scottishmaninavan: Welcome to Bealach na Ba! Commonly known as The Applecross Pass, this road has the steepest ascent of any road in the United Kingdom. The hairpin bends wind up to the 2,054 feet summit with stunning views if you can handle the terrifying twists and turns! Set in the Applecross Peninsula, its single road track even features a turn known as ‘the devil’s elbow’ which is extremely tight and unforgiving! A popular route to or from Applecross on Scotland's NC500. However, I would be very wary about taking it on in a motorhome or bigger. I personally only drive it at sunrise in my van, firstly for the views looking back down the road and in the opposite direction to the Isle of Skye from the summit but ultimately, I get it to myself & it's less 'nerve-wracking' to drive. Whenever I'm on the NC500, I always buy local & from honesty boxes along the way outside of farms and take advantage of the freshest fruit and veg I've ever tasted. Buy local, dispose of your rubbish appropriately, be considerate on the roads for locals, they'll appreciate it and pay you back in kindness I guarantee it! In winter, it's often impassable to pay attention to the conditions and signage along the way! #Scotland #scottish #vanlife #vanlifediaries #vanlifer #nomadlife #scotlandexplore #thisisscotland #unlimitedscotland #unlimitedbritain #ukexplores #explore #travel #adventure #visitscotland #scotlandisnow #yourscotland #instascotland #roadtrip #hiddenuk #hiddengems #nc500 #scotlandtiktok #scottishtiktok
