NC500 - Riding Bealach na Bà in Thick Fog — Full Applecross Pass Motorcycle Ride to Lochcarron

The full motorcycle ride up and over Bealach na Bà, also known as the Applecross Pass, continuing on towards Lochcarron in the Scottish Highlands. Conditions were grim: thick fog, heavy rain, blustery wind and at times near-zero visibility. We kept the pace very slow — often below 10mph — riding only to the distance we could clearly see to be safe. You’ll also hear us using horns on blind corners as we carefully worked our way through the single-track road, tight bends, steep gradients and exposed sections. This isn’t a fast ride or a heroic one — it’s a cautious crossing of one of Scotland’s most dramatic mountain passes in properly poor weather. Route: Bealach na Bà / Applecross Pass to Lochcarron Bike: BMW R1250GS Conditions: Fog, rain, low visibility and strong gusty winds ``
