Jimmy's coastal walk : day 36
For the second day running it dawned clear and frosty. This was to be the shortest of the three consecutive days and I knew that I would be walking along the A9 throughout. This part of the coastline looks fairly even compared to the recent indentations further south. However, the fairly high coastline is frequently incised by short fast-flowing streams and steep-sided valleys. Consequently it was ...

Despite strong winds the ferry was operating, unlike the very stormy day that I remembered ...
