Hello,  Has anyone been to this place?  Looking at a map I am wondering if those little white roads will be suitable for a motorhome.The location was recommended by someone I have lost conact with.  Thanks very much.

It's a totally brilliant, wonderful place and I could spend months there if I was able to!!
I've used a scooter or cycle, but I wouldn't fancy the journey I took, in a motorhome.

Don't think I would risk it in a Motorhome the size of yours. Having said that, there's lots of lovely places on the West coast with roads more suited to your van.

Take the coastal route to Applecross it's twist and hilly but a lot better than the pass. Applecross is worth the visit.

I have been over the pass in a motorhome but would not recommend it.

See this link for the pass http://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/applecross/peninsula/index.html

We have been over the pass in our van but it is a van conversion and we were fine.  Nice little pub in Applecross and the scenery is wonderful. Loads of wildlife too.

There is a campsite in Applecross.

Enjoy your trip.

Many thanks everyone.  Maybe we'll leave that place out of our plans and concentrate on all the other places it will be easier to get to.

we are just back from west coast, travelling in a car was hair raising enough! But please don't miss it out, AA can give advice on road conditions etc.
