The road looks patched up in this photo and those patches haven't lasted that well in the 2008 picture:

I am sure the patches run from the 60s when used as a hillclimb. I shall have to remember who showed me their copy of the book on the last event run there , 1970, and check the photos.

Any time I saw the Rest being used as a stage, the start/finish was always close to the main road at the Arrocher end. The most impressive story is of the rally car at the start at the top with no brakes, the spectators apparently holding the car from running down the hill. The question was "how did he mke it through stone bridge"?
