If you're in that area - it would be worth stopping by the Appelcross Inn
You probably won't be able to get rooms, it's always full - but the food is excellent.
It also means you have an opportunity to cross the Bealach na Ba.

If so, would it be OK to carry a can of instant tyre repair foam as a 'get you to a garage' repair? Is this an acceptable practice, or is it best to st...
