I'd love to drive that road ! Nothing I like better than a challenging drive 👍 I'd have to pass on the hermits castle though, no way my fat arse would go through that gap 🤣🤣 Nice one 👍
@@Dirt-Diggler cheers mate. The scenery was cracking but the stopping and starting gets old really quickly letting people pass etc. add the rain, steep climbs it just wasn’t a fun drive lol. Mate I barely fit through it as well 😂
We did that the other way round (in the dreaded motorhome) ably controlled by the bold Nicky for that particular stretch. It was absolutely PISHIN, so we gave Achmelvic beach a miss. Going through Nedd, I got out for a pish in this derelict hut thing just off the road, and then my phone slipped out my pocket as I was stepping out, glass face down right off a jagged stone busting up the glass! I'd just paid it off 3 weeks! 🤦🤬 Lochinver is an amazing part of the world. Something almost Jurassic about it with all the trees, wild lochs and windy roads. I'm glad you didn't take that right turn about a mile and a half from Scourie. I did - and it was a Badcall Ripley, it was a Badcall! 🤔😆😂
@@Jimbo12165 😂😂😂 mate now I wanna see what was down the badcall 😂. I didn’t enjoy that road at all mate and tbh when I head back up that way I’m just bypassing drumbeg altogether. Aw mate I’d have been raging if I’d just paid my phone off n cracked it. I did something similar in the gym. Put my phone on the floor and put the weights down after a set straight onto it 🤦♂️
I haven’t done the Drumbeg loop yet but my mum has and we did the Bealach Na Ba and she said the loop was worse because you can’t see very far ahead and more twisty turny. He he ‘amazing road if your a rally driver!’ 🤣 Hermit castle looks interesting been on my list a while, I haven’t done this area of the Highlands so finding it super interesting watching your adventures. Hope your back has recovered! Not fun on that type of terrain in the wet. Achmelvich beach looks stunning even in the rain, and his beach is high my my list to have a swim in 😍
@@thehighlandlife2023 😂thanks yeah the backs doing better. When I fell I was more concerned if anyone saw me lol. That road was no joke and tbh I don’t think I’d do it again although for some strange reason I was see it in the winter 🤦♂️ The hermits castle was so cool. It’s well out the way and just makes you wonder why that spot and the motivation in building it. Apparently he spent one weekend in it after 6 months of building it. Must have felt the cold lol. Achmelvich for me was a stunning beach but compared to others I’ve saw doesn’t rank as high. I’m keeping an open mind as it was raining. You’re so lucky staying up there you can visit them when you like 🙂
@@montygti16v11 sorry mate just trying different days out for posting. Doing a bit of market research 😂. I’m thinking Sundays might be the day I stick too.
@@RobnDob - you can Google map it of course. it's a dirt road in the mountains southwest of Boise. one good thing about it though is that it's wide enough to pass others. cheers

This is one I was looking forward to seeing. Just gutted the weather didn’t hold up for the other beaches.
Love these videos!

That road looked like a suspension killer !!
@@Rickandhisvan tell me about it mate. The passing place edges were steep as well so sod getting stuck in them.

I did this road yesterday it’s terrifying. Also sad you missed clashnessie falls it’s very nice
@@suzy179 glad I’m not the only one. I know I actually just saw the clashnessie falls as I was editing the video lol

oh lad... if you think drumbeg road is treacherous.... I'll invite you to a jaunt on silver city road in idaho. at least drumbeg is paved. 🤣
@@donoimdono2702 need to check this road out. lol.
