From Skye to Garlich: there is a direct route using an 'A' road (about 50 miles) or the scenic route ( about 150 miles) where the guide books say take your time - we took the scenic route.

| Lochcarron |
First we passed Lochcarron, an appealing white-washed village on the northern shore of Loch Carron. At the foot of Maol Chean Dearg (933m) with a fantastic mountain pass, Bealach na Ba pass on the way Applecross.
 |
| This is the mountain pass |
 |
| Passing on hairpin bends on a single track road |
 |
| The view from the summit. |
 |
| Now we continue down the other side |
These two van drivers didn't think the vehicle size restrictions on the road applied to them.. it's quite a fall down the mountainside in places.
 |
| The Applecross peninsula. |
We then arrived at the wonderfully remote village of Applecross, we were in a sunny and remote village surrounded by bare crags and views of the Isle of Raasay. (towards Skye).
 |
| Seafood anyone? |
Unfortunately Sue couldn't fit this piece of driftwood in her backpack..
Crossed over the stream and MORE SHAGGIES....
Sue tested the waters.. It's ok was the report...
Then a military installation. They always get the best spots.
 |
| The helicopter had just landed. |
A wonderful way to see the coastline.
 |
| A small loch near the mountain pass |
Fishing boats entering Kinlochewe.
Liathach Ridge. A popular place for climbers..
Gair Loch, a small group of villages surround the major centre, Gairloch.
 |
| Rhododenrons they are prolific and grow everywhere.. |
