Bealach Feith Nan Laogh is a steep climb known locally as Polloch Hill. It links Polloch with Strontian and peaks at 1,109 feet (338 m).

The incline reaches its apex at a breathtaking 17% gradient as it winds through a forested area up from Polloch towards Strontian.

The climb is gruelling but you'll be rewarded with spectacular open views to the south towards Loch Sunart.

I did the Loch Shiel, Strontian, Corran loop starting at Glenfinnan on my gravel bike. I knew there was a bit of a climb, but wasn't aware it was a toughie! Great climb - reminiscent of Kenmore to Amulree - steep through the woods, then goes on once out on to the moor. Not quite BnB, but up there with the best climbs in Scotland.

Great day out.
