Applecross Pass

After a cooked breakfast at the hotel, I took the cover off  the bike and set of on what turned out to be an 8 hour long ride in the saddle. 

This was my last day in the highlands, my intention was to get a big chunk of the west coast ridden.

Applecross Pass is a mecca for touring motorcyclist, the pass is 20 miles long, it connects Shiedaig with Applecross. Its winding, narrow, with steep gradients and tight hairpin bends, the scenery is stunning (my photos do not do it justice).

Good name for a Highland cafe

Funny man

I stopped for lunch at the Old Hall in Kinlochewe as well as a good pizza the owner insisted on giving me a free desert

After a long day in the saddle on the CB500X I was glad of a couple of beers in the bar with some other bikers who arrived to set up base.
