    Cracking. I've never managed to go down that. Been down the main road countless times. True story...I managed to get away with a speeding ticket going down the long hill from the Rest to the Cairndow turnoff. Got clocked at 103 in a Council Ford Fiesta van. The cops thought their radar was faulty and let me off. What they didn't know was that the van was the Council mechanic's van with an XR2i engine in it. They didn't look under the bonnet thankfully.

      lol brilliant. It’s very easy to get carried away in that road. I always wanted to go down that road just because you can’t normally.

    Brilliant Graham. When we were up there had been a landslide not long before but only a small one, so it had been cleared.
    Great to see all that traffic snaking its way down there.
    Great vid mate

    That looks a cracking wee road, when there is less traffic. I think they should enclose the main road like some of the avalanche tunnels in the alps.

    A cracking wee road but terribly congested which for me would take the fun out of it. I suppose the one advantage is you've got plenty time to soak it all in, especially if it had been raining 😊

      Agreed though unfortunately the main road is open again. Well at least until the next land slide lol.

    One to return to possibly on a quieter day? I've only ridden the main road once, last year when I was doing the Crieff Cloverleaf, but I must go back sometime. When passing through some of the glens in the Highlands, I often wonder how it was for people traveling a couple of hundred years ago... slow is probably the answer.

      Yea it must have been hellish walking everywhere lol. Main road is back open now so that wee road is locked up again.

      The roadworks had taken over the car park and put a barrier up so snack van wasn’t getting in.

    I used to enjoy riding down the Rest and be Thankful usually heading for Inveraray but too many road closures and coming from the south much better to get the Gourock to Dunoon ferry. Nice video, that must be some wait on that road👍

    • @haggiswhisperer

      Yea agreed mate. Much better now on the ferry. I didn’t have to wait but I would think it would be about a 30 minute wait.
