No problem. We saw a full size dustbin wagon when we went over. Would have to be prepared to give way i place but there are places you can pass.

Fantastic place. The pass isn't a problem and just remember the locals travel down at a good pace so be prepared.
There are a few areas to wildcamp and the campsite in the village is also nice. We
travel out of the village about 2 miles to a nice parking area on the left, that
should be fine. Just a few yards from the beach, enjoy.

Anyone wildcamped there, and could a Scout (MH not the boys !!) make it over "The Pass of The Cattle ??":whatthe::whatthe::whatthe:

We went over in our van, a bit tight in places, theres a sleepyspot at where Monty Halls had his bothy, big carpark, of an evening you can watch the deer walking across the beach, or go for a walk up the hills and find a set of antlers, I did. 57°28'29.20"N

Yes go for it . Scenery amazing but just take your time as said narrow !! Three of the French motorhome group we took to Scotland took their vans over and said it is the best scenery they had ever seen. :Smile:

No problem

No problem getting our motorhome over it. Although it is not huge (Elddis Autoquest 100) it was no big deal getting over the pass. A couple of the hairpins are a little tight but we even saw a medium size coach go over ( at a fair speed I may add ).

Couple of years or so.
Stunning area, not to be missed.

We wild camp at the end of the bay and walk round to the pub - where you will notice they have flags for your table to show where your from, Sweden, brazil, USA etc etc, but no flag of St. George so we pick a French flag and talk in a french accent, silly game but we like it.

As for the drive over the top, we have a twin tag Kon Tiki and it getsthere er the top with a couple of shuffles back and too on the hair pins.

Don't miss the Applecross Bay prawns at the Applecross Inn - lovely food! You may have to share a table, but it's worth it. Also afternoon tea in the Walled Garden. We loved it there. The campsite is very good too with visiting deer! However, fill up with fuel before you go... the pump in the village was self service and money-operated and was VERY expensive!
