I was telling my friend Gordon (Zorrofox) that I was planning a camping tour of Scotland he recommended going up to Wester Ross and a few places there. One of the places was Applecross....He did not tell me to get there you got to drive over mountain on a single track road rising from sea level to 2054ft in less than 6 miles and the final series of hairpin bends are a drive to be remembered. I got a bad fear of hights and was terrified. I managed to take one shot on the way up and had to point the camera and hope for the best so quite a bit of editing was done. Bealach Na Ba means 'Pass of the Cattle' I could have passed something else I can tell you! On the way up I was panicking and my wife and daughter were laughing at me......by the time we got up here they weren`t laughing any more!
