Wind night
After achieving our mission to get north we headed off west. We didn't have much on the agenda so we took it pretty slow. Our first stop was at Smoo Cave. Smoo Cave is a large sea cave which connects to several other underground caverns. The cave was fairly massive and a stream dropped into it which was pretty impressive but because of all the rain the water levels in the cave where too high for us to venture deeper. We returned out of the cave and to the coast for a look then ...
Ullapool to Poolewe
... br> As I got closer to Poolewe the rocks increased and it is very barren country, almost no soil.
Aultbea, where John Beattie was the innkeeper is a small port. I don’t know yet whether it was in his days. It has white painted, two storey dwellings sprinkled around the hillsides and lined up behind the beach. A mix of modern and old, a few very old, but they have had corrugated iron roofs added. In the sea air, these are ...

Mit Musik, Plaudern und Bier nahm ein wunderbarerer, son***** Tag im Nordosten Schottlands ein Ende. Vielen Dank noch einmal an Anja und Jörg für den tollen Abend; gerne wieder ...
Neblig, nass, trüb
... Eintritt in einen überdimensionalen Blumengarten und marschierten stattdessen 45 Minuten durch eine Art Wald entlang des River Ewe bis zum Loch Maree. Leider führte der Weg anschliessend weg vom Wasser in eine Art Vorgebirge und wir drehten auch auf Grund der zunehmenden Anzahl Mücken (sog. Midges) um. Weiter ging die Fahrt nach Norden durch abwechslungsreiche Landschaft. Zur Linken hatten wir immer wieder das Meer vor Augen, zur ...
