    I was about to do the pass when a motorist flagged me down to tell me a coach was reversing all the way back after attempting it so we stopped for a pint at the Woolpack and then set off. Fantastic pub! If it wasn’t for the crazy coach driver we never would have found this great pub! We watched the coach come past whilst enjoying a pint! The pass is not a problem for light vehicles!

    He’s got balls considering most people can’t ride a motorcycle on that road without falling off.

    what the hell...did he drive all the way through the pass with that coach? That's insane...that pass is a bloody nightmare.

    Looks like the bus says Pride of the Clyde on it. Most likely Scottish, and definitely driven by an utter madman! If it's a manual then I guess the clutch met its maker too.

    Hahaha brilliant, but very silly. I recently took a 3.5 tonne Fiat ducato over this pass but only because I see the merc sprinter mountain goats mini buses doing it lol, anything bigger than a big van and your asking for trouble.

    He won't have got to the top I can tell you that , even if this road was flat he wouldn't get round the top bends , he will have turned it after the roman remains before the nasty part.
