Hi, has anyone done the Bealach na Baa (Scotland) in a Motorhome???

We have a 4 berth Peugeot Talbot 'Rhapsody' motorhome and would love to take this route but not sure if the van will be able to handle it.

Ha ha, well thats that settled then!!

We did it lastyear in the car a 1:4 Astra,. You are better tackling it from the Applecross end, its far more spectacular.  We met a couple of arctic lorries coming up from the other side.  It is quite a climb, but if you take easy you will manage. Keep in a lower gear on the way down, its not as bad as people say.  Look out for the herds of red deer on the mountain slopes, and if lucky you may just spot a pair of eagles soaring in the sky. In Applecross, up the back there is small garden centre with a nice cafe.

Thanks for all your replies.  A friend is flying up to Applecross and is hiring a car so we will do the coastal route on the way up, do the route in his hire car and then decide whether to risk coming back that way.  Fingers crossed, we will be able to do it.

We are off tomorrow!!!!
