The sun was starting to set on us and we still had some way to go, but to get to the top of the pass and not marvel at the beauty of the surrounds was simply not an option. So we pulled up, took some pictures, had a look at the varying landscapes. it was amazing, but we had seen so much of all of this already and time was pressing and then headed on off to Sutherland. It had been a long day till now and we were pretty worn out. We were also glad nobody had come to grief along the twisty loosed rocked bits of the pass. We'd had one or two worrying moments but made it out ok.
