    Did that road a few years ago, 2 up with the Fuhrer. Stunning views at the top and a great pub the otherside. I want to go back soon!

    Got to agree with you mate. It's absolutely stunning up there. I'll be back again this year when I head up to Skye.

    Awesome road, It pissed it down on the way to applecross, this is the return.

    You see my blade marking the junction at the end of the video.

    Detour off the A82 at Glencoe onto B863 Loch Leven to Kinlochleven

    Best 17 miles of my 1600 mile ride like a roller coaster with blind summits etc also voted best by ride mag.
