    Great driving in those conditions, as confident as I am I don’t think I would have attempted it. We’ve got a 8.2 meter motorhome and hoping to complete it this year fingers cross better weather conditions. Glad you decided to show it all and not edited it.

      Thank you. As you saw it wasn’t foggy when we set off 🤦🏻‍♀️

    Wow, you are a terrific driver Simon. I was experiencing anxiety attacks just watching this video. Pity it was so misty though , we didn't see the beautiful scenery.

    Awesome driving Mr. Slaw...your copilot is doing a grand job feeding you carbs ..think the weather made it more exciting...I think Helga deserves a pint for getting you up there..

      Thanks Terry, it was a hairy drive! Clear to set off then we ascended into the cloud. Luckily Slaw is used to this as we live high in the Pennines and low cloud is common for us. Helga was an absolute star! We love her to bits 🤣

    Wow! Simon's eyes were on stalks. Half a crown, sixpence springs to mind. I bet you both needed a change of underwear after that. What a challenge.
    It reminded me of a gated road south out of Dolgellau over Cader Idris towards the coast south of Fairburn. There were about 10 gates that Anne had to open and close as I drove the car through. You wouldn't get you van up there. It was low cloud on the top too.
    Nothing but us and sheep.
    Happy days. xx

      @Melvin Rowan I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now.
      Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

    You guys are adventuring!! Amazing drive. We drove this road in summer with a golf. And planning another trip with a 6meters motorhomes in December. Do wish the weather bearable.

    Well you deserve a 10 out of 10 for effort doing that drive. I hope you enjoyed your stiff drink. I think my knuckles were white at some points 🤣👍🏼

    Excellent videos so far of your trip. I wouldn't want to do the Applecross Pass on my Raleigh Pioneer in poor visibility, too dangerous and uneven. The brakes would wear out. Keep up the good work of producing videos. I come from Silkstone Common which is not far from you.

      Hi, the camera is a DJI Osmo Action and I bought the mount from Amazon. Great little camera 👍. Thank you for your kind words.

    Was this the worst road throught out the trip? We are planning the NC route and our motorhome is roughly the same size. I see there are plenty of passing places.

    • @mrsslaw9242
      @mrsslaw9242 3 роки тому

      Hi Gordon, it was only a problem due to poor visibility. There are lots of passing places and if everyone is courteous and careful it’s fine. The Drumbeg loop was also tight and the road down to Achmelvic beach. They’re all doable though as you can see from our vlogs. Have a great time 🤣

    Wonder how anyone in a motorhome stands if they have a accident regarding insurance .
    Never thought about it before ?
    Shame you got no views

    • @mrsslaw9242

      Thanks for watching Lisa! There’s probably a clause somewhere in policies that don’t cover you for this road. Like the Nurburgring Nordschlief clause!
