NC500 Day 6 Triumph and Harley at Applecross

I leave the huge beaches of Sands campsite in Gairloch and ride south through the gorgeous highland scenery to try and beat the bad weather to the infamous Bealach na Ba pass, leading to Applecross. Hoping to meet my friend Rory on the way, but he has much further to come - will he beat the weather and make it up the pass on his Harley Davidson? The Bealach na Ba used to be the route cattle would be driven between the villages of Tornapress and Applecross in Wester Ross. The pass itself is a single lane road, 11 miles long, and in the middle its hairpin bends climb from sea level to over 630 metres within 6km, creating gradients around 20%, and has the steepest ascent of the roads in the whole of the UK. 1,658 miles on a Triumph Bonneville, around the country in 9 days of riding, camping every night.
