Just wonder whether my T4 Syncro LWB would make around some of those hairypins!

tiz not the first time ive been in a situation were syncros only dare go in my 2 wheel drive van harryman.

to be fair it took a hell of a run up and around 6 people to dig/push me out but i got their in the end

the syncro was handy to pop down tescos for some babyshams for the ladys mind you

We shall have to give it a go Jed.. looks a nice pass, and to be honest, think a lot of us enjoy twisty tarmac just as much as the rough stuff...

but the babycham run to Tescos? Perhaps not..

The other really nice pass that I have seen in Britain is tha Applecross Pass just North of Kyle of Lochalsh off the A896. Sea level to over 2000ft it is the closest you can get to an alpine pass that I have seen.
Sorry not in a syncro (trekka 4x4 though)

Apllecross Bay looking towards the Cuillins on Skye.

Shieldaig in the distance from Applecross peninsular road.

Well worth a visit if you are doing the west Coast. Loads of free campers, some in caravans and quite permanent.
