      UPD: This morning I drove along this road in google maps) From the beginning of B869 to the Kylesku bridge on A894. The shooting date is April 2022, so it's not far off. It's beautiful, as if I had visited a place I've been to before) Amazing views. Thanks, Dave🙏

      Ha thanks Serge. Yes it’s a stunning little road - maybe the most beautiful in the UK.
      It’s just a shame that when we travelled it, the weather was grey and murky. But even then the views are amazing!!
      Sorry I didn’t reply yesterday - we were in London doing some long walks around Richmond Park and the Thames which was beautiful!!
      Hope you’re all ok 🙏🙏🙏

      Hi Alex. We love it too. An amazing part of our World!!
      This road is maybe the most beautiful that we have travelled on in the UK!!
      At every turn there is a hidden bay or a beach or a lochan or a new mountain view!! It’s wonderful - and the area around the Kylescu bridge is stunning too.
      Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching and your kind comment 🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍

      Every bend has a new hidden scene - a bay or a beach or a lochan or an amazing mountain view.
      We stopped a few times along the way and although it was a murky and grey day it didn’t detract from the scenery
      A wonderful day all round!!

    Beautiful drive, Dave. It is really nice to see the area. Looks like you found a pretty neat beach area. Those roads are narrow and less traveled. You basically had the place to yourselves. Wow, that mountain is pretty tall above the landscape. It must be one of the high points of the region. Pretty neat. Thanks for the tour of the area. Have a great day.

      I would imagine it would be impassable quite a lot in winter. There’s so many steep and windy sections across moorland that some of those communities must be cut off at some stages
      But what a place to be cut off anyway 😃😃

    Absolutely breathtaking journey! 🚗 The Wee Mad Road is a true adventure, and those narrow paths add an extra thrill. The Scottish landscapes are beyond words, and kudos to you for capturing the essence so beautifully. The view near the Kylesku bridge is simply surreal, and that little stop by the white sandy beach was a picturesque delight. Keep sharing these incredible trips - they're an inspiration to fellow explorers like me! 🏞📸

      Yes Kylescu is an amazing place. The sea comes into two lochs through a narrow channel which is where the bridge has been built. I think it’s a beautiful curved design which sort of fits with the landscape.
      It’s an amazing area!!!!
      Have a brilliant week you guys 👍👍👍

    So so nice Dave and yes it might well be the most beautiful road . I loved the time-lapse where we got to see so much on this wee mad road and it was so scenic. Loved the little stop off points that you did at the beautiful beach and lake and you took nice pictures of Sue and you both having the tea and scones and nice shoutout 😃 . That tree that you filmed was almost horizontal with the wind 🤭 The mountains were stunning as you drove along and I loved that ferry jetty area . Such a lovely place. Thanks for the beautiful tour :) ~ Anna 👍

      So many little hidden beaches and lochs - and so remote too. I would imagine it’s a bit of a nightmare up there in Winter! So many steep inclines and sharp bends!

      Loved it up there. I know what you mean about the bridge - the ferry used to be free to travellers - a tiny little boat really. But there are so many more people use that main road these days. Not many use the wee mad road luckily 😃😃😃

    Lovely video of one of the best bits of Scotland. I last travelled this road in 1966 in my (t)rusty Morris Minor. And I agree with an earlier comment that more houses are evident now and conspicuously more traffic. Ohh .. and there is now a bridge at Kylesku ... What a good idea; I had to use the ferry !

    • @NBNatureTrailvan
      @NBNatureTrailvan  Год назад

      Wow that’s brilliant. We so loved this road plus the Southern section with its incredible views of Assynt. Apparently, it’s that section that is the real Wee Mad Road.

      Hiya MsKayak. This road is a really beautiful journey. Maybe one of the most beautiful and scenic roads in the UK.
      But yes, it’s single track with passing places - so you have to be careful and courteous to other drivers - some of the bends and climbs are a bit nerve wracking but it’s so worth it for the views!!
      It was a shame that it was so grey and murky - we had that weather all week we were there. And believe it or not - we filmed this in the middle of June!! But that’s Scotland - one day is glorious, the next can be stormy!

      Scotland’s tourist board came up with “The North Coast 500” a few years back. It has meant that the roads up there have become really busy. Luckily this road was considered too small - some say it’s the most beautiful road in the UK. We wouldn’t disagree - a hidden bay or beach or lochan or mountain view around every turn.

      We found Assynt and Sutherland were absolutely stunning places.

    Lovely vlog of your journey over that road.
    However, the real 'wee mad road' is from Inverkirkaig to Coigach (and Achiltibuie) - that's south of Lochinver. Its even narrower and twisty that the coast road you took here. Well worth a run ...

    • @NBNatureTrailvan
      @NBNatureTrailvan  2 года назад

      Ah hi William- thanks so much - I’ve seen the Northern section called this but I realised that the Southern section is called it. Wasn’t sure who was right🤦🏻‍♂️
      We did travel that Southern section too. Really couldn’t choose which was our favourite. But Achiltibuie must be one of the most beautiful places on planet Earth!! We did film our trip to there via Loch Assynt.
