The penultimate location on Day 2 of our October 2025 NC500 Roadtrip, and a place we hadn't previously visited, the Pass of the Cattle, the wonderful Bealach na Ba!

Almost perfect weather - a bit cold and windy - and 200 miles of driving, but worth every second to visit such an amazing place in such conditions, especially given it was the last week of October!

We captured the in car footage using the Osmo Pocket3, with Lee holding it steady - good job Hubby - and the aerial footage with the AIR3, which sadly suffered a prop issue, causing it to descend rapidly, thankfully I was able to get it back for a close in landing, but it was moving too quicky, and despite me best efforts was damaged in the landing, so it is off for repair now - shame it was only a month out of its Care Refresh insurance!

The views from above the Bealach are amazing, Raasay, Skye - Quiraing and Cuillins - along with Arrochar, and the Isles of Eigg and Rum are all easily visible in the late afternoon light.

A return trip is definitely needed, such an amazing place, and to have had it so quiet was a blessing...

Cor, squeaky *** time on those roads. Beautiful scenery expertly captured. Very well presented and as always masterful (or should I say mistressful) editing. Love it.

Thanks hon, yeah, it was a wee bit tight in places, fun to drive though, Lee wasnt so happy, getting thrown around while trying to hold the gimbal camera steady... Thanks for the kind words on my editing and capture, it is very much appreciated...

Another magnificent video! You think they could have made that road straight through rather than all those tight curves lol. Nonetheless, I enjoyed the entire video.
