Did this in the car in snow on Friday.
There was a big sign at the start of the road saying "Not passable in wintry conditions" .... I did question my sanity a few times

Saw an abandoned bike with Italian plates on it half way up!!
What an amazing road!

I did it from the Loch Carron side up.
It never looks the same watching it on youtube

Did it on May 20th ish last year and had to turn back because of snow

Went back a day or so later and it was ok.

You must have been unlucky as the video I posted was the weekend of the 25th may 2012!! And it was 30 degrees!!

Surely there's more than a few days between your photo and mine???
