I headed over Applecross-way in the wee Van Rouge for it's shakedown run last night, and it seemed like a good opportunity to climb the Bealach from the Kishorn side..
Weather was mixed, glorious sun, then persisting down :roll: Still, the midgies weren't too bad at least....
The hill was tough, especially after the short steep ramps on the way round the coast to Shieldaig, it's a proper climb, reminded me in parts of the Pyrenees climbs we did last summer, just kept going up! On the plus side, the descent off it was fun, and as it was still relatively early there was very little traffic to slow me down
Had to stop for a recovery drink at the Applecross Inn, didn't want to risk dehydration

We are headed there in a couple of weeks.
I'm just home after a few days away touring round randomly from the north and headed down to Brians in Dingwall through Tongue and Lairg over a few days. Weather has been rubbish really but still better than no ride at all, and to be fair I had a great time riding and touring round, really enjoyed my few days away.
